I don’t blame you, because it is quite a disaster, and is becoming all |
| 8 |
rolled up in the attempt to turn ‘Linux’ from a kernel into a |
| 9 |
‘vertically integrated’ variant of MacOS. I’m actually using eudev, |
| 10 |
myself, but, regardless, never know when an update will render things |
| 11 |
like scanners non-working or at least give them incorrect access |
| 12 |
controls. |

I suppose it should be _possible_ to create the devices but would not |
| 15 |
be surprised if the task is non-trivial. Which is very, very un-Unix, |
| 16 |
and I think that really ought to be the end of it. I don’t mind fancy |
| 17 |
stuff but do mind when it is done in an extremely un-Unixy fashion. |
