 The worst case is one where Ive upgraded udev to the latest which only
 works with kernels 2.6.25 or higher, and the last working kernel on
 that machine is 2.6.24 (grr!). Wondering if I can download a binary
 package of udev-149 from somewhere (or can I build it on another
 machine in a sandbox and package it with quickpkg?). Im kind of under
 pressure to fix this box but dont have udev-149 on any other machine
 available :-(

 That'll teach me to upgrade to the latest and greatest too fast...
