%general-entities; ]> Udev system &buildtime; 0.2 SBU &diskspace; 5.2 MB By default, the permissions udev assigns to nodes are all uniform, being owned by user root, group root, and only accessible to root. As you can easily imagine, this isn't ideal. Give it a much better configuration by applying the following patch: patch -Np1 -i ../udev-&udev-version;-config-1.patch Now compile Udev: make udevdir=/dev And install finally install it: make udevdir=/dev install And since we aren't going to be using the udev daemon, but instead the udev binary itself, we correct it's hotplug configuration: ln -sf /sbin/udev /etc/hotplug.d/default/udev.hotplug Who knows?
