Ok, so we can upload/backport udev 072 to volatile, and use it with the new kernel, without fearing future breakage ? Alternatively, can we backport those fixes to a sarge package, so we are able to use only a slightly modified sarge udev ? This would make sense for current sarge users who want to use self-compiled 2.6.15+ kernels also. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
