Hi! Arjan: Why Redhat Linux do NOT support devfsd ? We are developing a diskless environment, by using devfsd it will reduce the load of the server. Could you please tell me ? For Debian, Mandrake ant other distributions, devfs is ok with them. I know devfs disappeared since Redhat 7.3. Why ? Thanks. >> Hi! >> I am trying to make a kernel i586 and i386 binary rpm with devfs enabled = >from src rpm. > >that won't work.
