That sounds confusing. I could, on a bad day, read that as needing to reboot to update udev after creating the /etc/udev/kernel-upgrade file. > "force" and "creating" are still somewhat dissociated from each other. > The two ideas would be better expressed in two sentences. > > Alternatively: > > Please upgrade your kernel before or after upgrading udev.

Or ... You can force the installation of this version of udev by first creating a /etc/udev/kernel-upgrade file, "touch /etc/udev/kernel-upgrade file" is sufficient, before proceeding with the udev installation. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X
