I do not view it as a case of right or wrong, but one of educational value. I can use Fedora (or choose your distro flavor of the day) and it will configure many things automa[gic/tic]ally without me knowing what is going on. The key point of LFS is surely "my distro rulez (TM)" :-) I would like to see consistency in the scripts and configuration methodology of the book based on the user making the choices they want. This implies keeping your descriptions of udev configuration. The new methodology could be pointed to with a udev auto config section and a comment something like: "If you do not want to configure anything then just run the script udev-auto-config.sh (or whatever it is) and report errors/failures to ..." Sorry, I am not sure if this is a +1 or -1 Please make a simplified proposal in a new thread. The "inconsistency" report has moved beyond typographical errors into technical developments.
