You may be right about udev. I know at one point udev was having |
| 28 |
trouble if /dev/console and some other file was not there when it was at |
| 29 |
the first part of booting up. It was talked about so I suspect that |
| 30 |
little glitch has been fixed but one can never tell about these things. |

I'm not a real big fan of defrag on Linux but was just sort of nosing |
| 33 |
around a bit. I just like some things to be in their place and I was |
| 34 |
bored at the time. |
