What a great Idea! I just removed udev from my Sarge system, but that
prevented me from upgrading to later debian kernels via the apt-get update

This is a marvelous idea! I can take udev in and then kill it silently
stealthily and the packaging system will be none the wiser!!!
Great IDEA! I hate UDEV!
THANKS!
