Hoi, I've done a fresh version 2.7.1 installation yesterday. I've remembered the mail about the CONFIG_DEVTMPFS{,_MOUNT} options, so this went well. Unfortunately, as I received the /run/udev not writeable. Falling back to /etc/.udev. warning, I did create this directory -- no good idea. Hazel Russman provided the solution on linuxforums.org -- thanks. Another point. If you put these flags in your kernel you will get an error message next time you boot: /run/udev not writable. Falling back to /dev/.udev. This doesn't do any harm. Don't, whatever you do, create a /run/udev because those who have done it lost control of their input devices. I think this gets cleared up when you upgrade udev. http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/coffee-lounge/188298-warning-crux-users.htm... I write to this list because I haven't seen it mentioned here but consider it worthwhile. meillo
