Re: FC2 migration to udev

Why don't you "migrate" to a modern distribution, and you won't have to
worry about it. FC2 is ancient, and full of security holes. If you
insist on using FC, why not install the latest version?

Ack, there is no point in running this ancient version, FC 5 is
the recent version with FC 6 soon available.

He could try an upgrade installation, dunno if this works from FC
2 -> FC 5, but why not just try it out? Performing a full backup
before starting as a matter of course!

even though the base installation is FC2, not much remains -- all these
have been updated: gcc, glibc, kernel, gnome, X, most of the system
tools etc.. so as you can see not much is left apart from the
initscripts.

so i kindly ask again, any docs to migrate to udev for FC2?
thanks
