CentOS 4.0 now available through the Distro Wizard.



"udev" is installed, but won't run on startup. To enable (if you know what you're doing), grep for "udev" in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and uncomment the line. It's likely that this package can just be removed completely.

I also disabled bdb in /etc/my.cnf, which is needed since it requires NPTL. (thanks fo0bar).

Please let me know if you have any other suggestions for the template.

Why was udev disabled?

UML doesn't support, and doesn't need kernel modules.

udev is not just about kernel modules... But I see your point. The /dev directory is unlikely to change.
