Just wondering if anyone else besides the one user who's reported a |
8 |
succesful result has tried this. |

I realise people are experimenting with mdev and static devices; the latter |
11 |
in particular would be of interest on that forum thread, but I'd also like |
12 |
to know if anyone has got any feedback on udev without initramfs, especially |
13 |
on unstable. |

I'm not knocking the mdev option, and would love to see a forum thread on |
16 |
how to set that up: the more options the better AFAIC. Just that udev is the |
17 |
official upstream kernel thing, AFAIK, and might be more suited for the |
18 |
general desktop end-user, especially with devices that only have udev helper |
19 |
scripts (eg I've heard about wifi and bluetooth.) |
