NEWBIE - Upgrading udev

[Nigel Rantor <wiggly@wiggly.org>]

Hi all,

I've been trying to get a more recent kernel to work on my boxen and 
have found that it requires a later version of udev than I currently 
have installed.

I'm not exactly sure if this is the reason that things aren't working 
but I can't really go further on the lkml without checking that my 
versions of everything are up-to-date.

I realise that udev is fairly critical in terms of being able to get a 
working system so I'm reluctant to just go ahead and make the upgrade 
without having some idea of the likelyhood of buggering my box to oblivion.

Currently running 2.6.7-rc3 on a Slackware 10.1 install that comes with 
udev 050, 2.6.13-rc6 requires udev 058.

So, my question is, how easy is it going to be for me to kill my box? 
Any tips on upgrading udev?

Cheese,

   n
