I don't get this:
+ if (-d './dev') {
How does the existence of a directory named "dev" in the current
directory (which can be just anything) demonstrate the use of udev?
And could you please explain how udev is working? I don't know anything
about it.
Also,
+ if ((!$use_devfs) and (!$use_udev)) {
Please use "&&" instead of "and". Also notice that !(A && B) is more
efficient than (!A) && (!B), but I admit I am splitting hairs here ;)
Thanks.
