I haven't tried to do this for udev myself, but you should check out the 'equivs' package. You can use it to create a fake udev package and replace the existing one with that. You'd probably want to create it with an absurdly high version number or by pinning it in /etc/apt/preferences, so that it never gets replaced. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Lxc-users mailing list Lxc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxc-users
