&gt; Yes, I don&#39;t have udev running. Adding udev to the package list for building<br>
&gt; the appliance seems not to be enough, as there&#39;s apparently nothing starting<br>
&gt; it. What&#39;s the proper way to start udev in this situation?<br>
<br>

<br>
The rest of the code in the appliance/ subdirectory is useful<br>
to look at too.<br>

<br>what should I expect the device connected to the pipe on the guest side to be called?<br><br>
