Did you look in the udev tarball itself? :) In there you will see README file with lots of info on how to build and install udev. A HOWTO-udev-for-dev file which explains one way to set up udev to manage your /dev, and a very good HOWTO on building udev rules in the docs/ directory (along with some other good documentation.) If that isn't enough, please let us know. thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
