I think I've found one item so far that requires udev. My laptop's |
| 13 |
graphics chip needs a binary blob from radeon-ucode. That binary blob, |
| 14 |
in turn, requires the presence of /usr/lib/libudev.so.0 which is a |
| 15 |
symlink to /usr/lib/libudev.so.0.9.3 (which is also required). I can |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
emerge udev |
| 18 |
move or copy the 2 files over to /root |
| 19 |
unmerge udev |
| 20 |
move or copy the 2 files from /root to /usr/lib/ |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
and it still works. Note that /usr/lib/ is a symlink to /usr/lib64 on my |
| 23 |
64-bit gentoo. |
