Wouldn't be the first time something is in a completely different place in
Fedora!

:o) Agree - The user (me) needs to get more intelligent!

Interestingly also in the commented out section of path_id it states (and
remember this is Fedora 5) :

I have looked at the (rpm) version of udev, running my system:
udev-084-13.fc5.2.i386
Which appears to be the latest, see -
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=udev-persistent
The build date is "Build date: Wed Aug 16 17:19:57 2006" - could try forcing
the FC6 or 7 rpm's?
