> - english mistakes in messages;

Hmmm... Jimmy (the guy who makes most of the code) is heck of a programmer, but
I've seldom seen anyone that's worse in english ;-) Patches are welcome though.

Yep. I don't think the project has anyone who's really responsible for
documentation, so it's kinda lagging...

Hmmm... Might be worth filing a bug about...

Could you post a bug about this (with all relevant information) in initng bz? It
doesn't sound like a hard fix to me...

> - booting hung while starting the daemon udev/udevd hung because udevd does not

Are you sure about this? According to udevd manpage udevd _has_ a daemon argument.

> - sometimes sound devices are not created, this is clearly a udevd issue;

Udev scripts are being heavily worked on. Let's hope this gets fixed. Filing a
bug might help too.

> - often console switches to cyrillic for a while (ugly);

I've been trying to fix this, but it didn't get any better. Check comment #84
above. If anyone can help me out here I would be very glad...

> - console flashes (ugly);

Flashes? Could you elaborate?

> - kernel messages on consose (ugly but easily fixed by adding -c 1 to klogd);

Ok, fixed in svn.

> - no integration yet with rhgb (easily fixable I presume).

Blah. Do we really need rhgb when running initng?
