7 But Alan, haven't you read the recent (past couple of DAYS) emails in
8 this very thread from people who followed the current 'simple document'
9 you refer to and it did not work as advertised? I don't think these
10 people are making this stuff up - are you saying you do?
11
12 Not to mention the fact that this final/current seemingly complete
13 document was way, way too late for the many people who ended up with
14 totally broken systems, and *that* is what caused all of the 'hysteria
15 and mob-think' you so condescendingly speak of.
16
17 It is these reports that is causing me all kinds of fear/trepidation at
18 this seemingly simple/benign update (as you seem to believe it is).
19
20 So, again, I would really, really like a very simple answer as to the
21 *best* way to retain the old way that is least likely to cause problems
22 down the road (ie, if/when udev is subsumed by systemd). Currently I
23 count 3 different ways.
24
25 Or, as an alternative, *how* to switch to eudev (their web page does
26 *not* have simple/precise instructions on how to switch, only a
27 description of what it is) - ie, do I just emerge -C udev && emerge -C
28 virtual/udev && emerge eudev? Or is there more to it?
