Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo 2006.0 and udev

Yes, now I remember. I had this tarball issue with 2005.0 already,

Regarding to the issue with sd* ... call me a numb ;o) ... i forgot to

No up to the main part of my holiday plans ... reinstall my (LFS based)
WiFi AP to be Gentoo too. ;)))

Regards
Frank
