I started making a init thing when they were talking about not supporting /usr on a separate partition. Then about a month ago eudev was announced which means we can boot with /usr on a separate partition and no init thingy, like it used to be. My basic question is this, has anyone started using eudev yet? From my understanding it is basically udev with the files where they used to be before they changed things. I'm thinking about switching but wondering what all is involved. It appears to be as simple as unmerge udev and emerge eudev and restart eudev. Is it really THAT simple?
