It's possible (first time) to compile util-linux without libudev, compile systemd/udevd and then again recompile util-linux with libudev. IMHO libudev is very useful for findmnt and lsblk to get info about devices. Note that uuidd is absolutely unnecessary if you don't have huge SAP installation (-- it means unnecessary for 99% of the all Linux users). Karel -- Karel Zak http://karelzak.blogspot.com
