Add back what? auto-add of udev to runlevels ? Your 2nd draft doesnt
seem to say so :)
Anyway, when doing so please keep in mind the following scenarios:
- Newcomers that make a new install with the handbook. This information
about udev init script *needs* to be in the handbook.
- Oldschoolers that make new installs almost from memory, maybe with the
x86 quick install guide as a memo. They will probably miss anything
that is not a news item.
- Embedded handbook that advocates usage of crossdev and /usr/$CHOST as
a SYSROOT, nfs root, or even to copy this to the device's storage.
Those will not start off a releng-provided stage (though might not
even use udev either).
Alexis.
