I suggested that some time ago.
Reasons for it are: 1) The script is not long. 2) the device numbers
depend on the kernel
What I would also like is a script to make the right device names. In
HP-UX the "insf" command creates device file entries with the right
name and permissions/owner/group. Somehow it can manage to install
all missing device entries. Wouldn't that be nice for Linux?
