I am staying with the old udev because I have /usr on a separate |
| 15 |
partition, and have no desire to bugger my system because of the |
| 16 |
machinations of the systemd/udev maintainers. |

I would have already migrated to mdev if I were a more capable linux |
| 19 |
admin, but I'm only barely passable. |

But as it is, I'm simply avoiding the whole mess unless/until I have to |
| 22 |
do a reinstall from scratch - which may be soon, since I need more disk |
| 23 |
space anyway (just wish I had a decent guide on installing gentoo in a |
| 24 |
vmware esxi server VM)... |
