Of course. With a static /dev/, the node is always there to be operated on whether or not there is hardware associated with the device node. You can chmod it whether there is a device plugged in or not. udev largely solves the problem of 'my /dev tree is ugly with all those extra things in it'. Until it also solves all of the problems it brings with it, and provides an upgrade path better than 'upgrade the kernel first', I have to remain unconvinced. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
