Re: [idea] udev + selinux: msg#00241

Subject: Re: [idea] udev + selinux
This should be of great assistance with two home projects currently
and  1 work project due to the filesystem types.  I am still working
through size issues and further locking down the images.

Project 1 = SE Linux image for Netgear MR314 Wireless Lan Router
Project 2 = SE Linux image for Cisco 2501 Router
Project 3 = Debian Sarge Server build on SGI Octane with reiserfs (
Work for Network Management Server )

Thanks,
Jim McCullough
