no, as long as you build support for all your hardware directly into the kernel (as opposed to modules)

Hmm, I think that if you are using udev, you NEED hotplug support enabled in the kernel - even if your modules are all built-in and even if you don't need the actual Hot-plug functionality. Udev needs hotplug. This is with the latest stable gentoo-sources 2.6.15.1 and udev. You don't need to emerge the hotplug tools, however. I also think that newer kernels (2.6.16?) don't even allow you to disable hotplug support as it is mandatory for udev. |

| Nope, as the udev guide states, udev only requires "hotplug-base" and it is installed as a depencency. "hotplug" and "coldplug" packages are not dependencies and you may choose not to install them. |
