Hi all,
	please don't simply remove devfs support from ROCK. It's quite useful to 2.4 
kernels, and there are still some reasons to use them. On my PC, e.g., the 
TV-card doesn't work with 2.6. kernels. 
I'd rather like to have support for both devfs and udev, with udev being the 
default for 2.6 kernels.

 Yours sincerely,
	Stefan Fiedler
