If you're using udev, then the only /dev/null and /dev/console are |
| 2 |
needed. Keep in mind, though, that when udev is started, the |
| 3 |
static /dev/* are hidden because the fs that udev manages is mounted |
| 4 |
over it just like with devfs... |

I recommend keeping them around just in case you need them... unless of |
| 7 |
course you're trying to make a minimal install. |
