Package: lilo-installer
Severity: normal
Please avoid to using devfs for prompting the user.
According to comment in kernel:
devfs is experimental in 2.4.x
devfs is obsolete in 2.5 - 2.6.*-preX
Moreover it's difficult to a 'normal' user to understand what
ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc means, I could imagine that
a newbie will be lost, and as a consequence have an unusable
system.
Cheers,
Pierre Machard
