-HOWTO use udev to manage /dev
-
-  This document describes one way to get udev working on a Fedora-development
-  machine to manage /dev.  This procedure may be used to get udev to manage
-  /dev on other distros, if you modify some of the steps.
-  
-  This will only work if you use a 2.6 based kernel, preferably the most
-  recent one.  This does not prevent your machine from using a 2.4
-  kernel, if you boot into one, udev will not run and your old /dev will
-  be present with no changes needed.
-
-
-NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE
-  This is completely unsupported.  Attempting to do this may cause your
-  machine to be unable to boot properly.  USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.  Always
-  have a rescue disk or CD handy to allow you to fix up any errors that
-  may occur.

- - Build and install udev as specified in the README that comes with
-   udev.  I recommend using the following build options to get the
-   smallest possible binaries:
-	make USE_KLIBC=true USE_LOG=false DEBUG=false
-
- - disable udev from the boot process by running:
- 	chkconfig udev off
-   or
-   	chkconfig --del udev
-   as root.
-
- - place the start_udev script somewhere that is accessible by your
-   initscripts.  I placed it into /etc/rc.d with the following command:
-	copy extras/start_udev /etc/rc.d/
-	
- - modify the rc.sysinit script to call the start_udev script as one of
-   the first things that it does, but after /proc and /sys are mounted.
-   I did this with the latest Fedora startup scripts with the patch at
-   the end of this file.
-
- - make sure the /etc/udev/udev.conf file lists the udev_root as "/dev/"
-   and the udev_db as "/dev/.udevdb". It should contain the
-   following lines in order to work properly.
-	udev_root="/dev/"
-	udev_db="/dev/.udevdb"
-
- - reboot into a 2.6 kernel and watch udev create all of the initial
-   device nodes in /dev
-
-
-If anyone has any problems with this, please let me, and the
-linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list know.
-
-A big thanks go out to the Gentoo developers for showing me that this is
-possible to do.
