I've been poking around, and I don't see a devfs howto or mini-howto
anywhere.  I think such a document might be in order.  Yes, I _am_
volunteering to write it.  But I can't do it alone.  I'm going to need
the help of you experienced people on the list.

The topics that I think such a howto should/would cover are as
follows:
1) Devfs/devfsd installation on a 2.4.0 series kernel.
2) Migration completely to devfs, so as to be able to remove the
compatibility entries.

I would probably leave the scope at 2.4.0, as it's looking like it
will go stable before the end of this year.

So, I'd like input, suggestions, and nice tidbits of info to
incorporate into this howto.

I will be going into college in under a week, I am assuming I will
still have some free time to work on a howto.  But I guess I'll see...
