Thanks Allin! Very helpful, or at least, I'll let you know... ;) One question, I have the 2.6.39.2 kernel tree that I'm building for my little project. How do I point the udev build at the kernel headers in that tree, e.g.: /home/fwmiller/roadrunner/build/linux/include where "linux" in this path is actually a sym link to a directory called linux-2.6.29.2 in the same build/ directory? Also, can I just do all the --disable-* options to configure? Is that the base implementation? Thanks, FM On Fri, 2011-08-12 at 23:19 -0400, Allin Cottrell wrote: > On Fri, 12 Aug 2011, Frank W.
