Would this require tweaking the virtual/dev-manager ebuild? Taking a |
| 9 |
quick glance at http://busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html it does have |
| 10 |
lsmod/modprobe/rmmod, but not modinfo. Are there any ebuilds or init |
| 11 |
scripts that use modprobe or rmmod? If so, the ebuild should at least |
| 12 |
have an ewarn message telling mdev users to create the necessary |
| 13 |
symlinks to modprobe/rmmod. Maybe even attempt to create the symlinks |
| 14 |
if they don't already exist. |

I'm not a programmer or developer, but I am running udev-less Gentoo |
| 17 |
using busybox's mdev. I've got a spare machine that I'm willing to use |
| 18 |
as a guinea-pig for testing mdev under the proposed setup. |

How difficult would it be to set up an mdev-based profile, already? |
