I'll modify it as suggested. There is talk on the gentoo-dev list that mod-utils will be replaced by virtual/mod-utils which will default to kmod (required to build udev-181). Note that mod-utils and kmod are mutually exclusive. That should be taken care of in the ebuilds, but I'll monitor the situation. I may have to modify the setup instructions for conversion to mdev... i.e. an additional step, removing kmod and installing mod-utils. -- Walter Dnes
