Re: [gentoo-server] udev conflict

[Ben Munat]

Thanks for the reply. Do you (or anyone else) know for sure that udev is absolutely not 
used by a 2.4 kernel?

It seems like I read this somewhere, but I haven't been sure enough to simply uninstall 
it. This machine is about 1000 miles away from me, serves about a dozen live sites, and 
handles email for dozens of people (including myself), so I definitely don't want to make 
it unbootable! :-)
