Thanks, good to know, and I saw that while googling too, but kind of figured it would just be postponing the changes Still though, doesn't it seem like the 'Quick Installation' document and for that matter, the Handbook... should be edited to reflect this major change... even if it was just adding a url that explains how to work with the new stuff? Is there a single document somewhere that explains what this is all about and how to configure for it? Well, yes there is. There was a document from eselect news about it... During install it was 'eselect news read 4' ,---- | 2013-03-29-udev-upgrade | Title Upgrading udev to version >=200 | Author Samuli Suominen <ssuomi...@gentoo.org> | Posted 2013-03-29 | Revision 2 | | [...] `---- I read it but didn't really get what changes needed to happen.. now looking back at that document it's hard to see how I could fail to understand, as it is pretty insistent about how your system will be fudge if you don't pay attention. I guess those old ethX names are so deeply ingrained... blah blah. excuse, excuse ... 4 flat tires, ... hit by comet .. blah abducted... rear end probed...blah, etc etc.
