How would using a init thingy keep me from using a init thingy anyway? |
| 48 |
Huh? <scratches head> |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
I don't have to have a init thingy today either. Think about it. LOL |
| 51 |
If I reboot and the init thingy fails, I just edit grub and bypass the |
| 52 |
init thingy. Fixed that pretty quick. ^_^ |

By the way, eudev is already in the tree but a dev on -dev said they had |
| 55 |
a couple up coming fixes before needing any testing. It is REALLY |
| 56 |
happening. ;-) |
