Something like olympus ~ # cat /etc/portage/package.mask >=sys-fs/udev-180 ... olympus ~ # olympus ~ # grep udev /etc/portage/package.keywords sys-fs/eudev ~amd64 =virtual/udev-206 ~amd64 olympus ~ # unmerge everything udev && emerge eudev its been much less fuss and bother than trying to stick with the udev machinations - I have maybe 15 machines and vm's running eudev, no udev ... :) BillK
