Yes. If it will prove to be actually needed I have a backup plan more or less ready for a limited dual-personality package, BUT the old personality would only provide limited functionalities and would not be intented to be configured by users. IOW, it would only work until the end of the upgrade but switching back and forth between kernel versions would not be fully supported and probably many features would not be available. > So this leaves the option of dealing with the bugs that prevent udev 0.060 > from working on top of a 2.6.8 kernel.

These are not bugs, but rather fundamental design features. -- ciao, Marco
