17 (I haven't done it myself, but...) I assume one would simply unmerge
18 sys-fs/udev and emerge sys-fs/eudev and then do any configuration file
19 changes necessary. virtual/udev covers the possibility of using either
20 package. Unless you're asking more about the configuration changes
21 themselves, in which case I have no idea.
