(sry for not putting this one in with the other mail)
I just checked and under debian there's /usr/share/doc/udev which
seems to hold all the information you really need. (including how to
disable udev, but probably not advisable on ubuntu who knows what
it'll break) Ubuntu mainly relies on its wiki of course, I had a look
around there but didn't see any user docs for udev. I did find this
thread[1] on the forums but they don't offer up a solution. Seems
ubuntu kind of messed up in the udev department. :-(
