[howto] easy udev setup in Fedora

[howto] easy udev setup in Fedora

[Rob Love]

OK, fedora-devel now comes with a 2.6 kernel (rah rah), and Fedora Core
2 is slated to be a 2.6 kernel-based distribution.

So, for those of you using fedora-devel, or planning to upgrade to
Fedora Core 2 when released, there is no reason not to dance in the
beauty of a dynamic dev directory.

I have compiled these easy-to-follow steps:

	- download and install the udev rpm [1]
	- download the udev tarball [2] and untar it
	- copy etc/init.d/udev to /etc/init.d
	- type "/sbin/chkconfig --add udev"
	- make sure that your /udev is mounted during early
	  boot, if it is not a directory on your root
	- reboot

And then it will Just Work.

Really, all of these steps should be automated by the RPM spec file.  I
will add that.  But for now, the above will suffice.
