NEWBIE - Upgrading udev

NEWBIE - Upgrading udev

[Nigel Rantor]

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

Use the udev package in slackware current. It works fine now.
You can found the package in any slackware mirror, one of the fastest
is www.slackware.at.

						Good Luck

So, everything is completely compatible? Rules, the lot?

Cool.
