Simply because the adequate (i.e.: with good educational value and technical correctness) explanation of the udev topic is way too thick for the LFS book.
Why? BLFS is up to about 1100 pages and LFS is somewhere around 300. There is plenty of room for more.
Also, this in-depth explanation doesn't fit for those who read the book for the first time.
But in-depth explanations can be added as appendicies that first time readers don't need to read to do a build. I've always been in favor of adding all the bootscripts, and now udev rules, as appendicies to make the book "complete." There is a lot of great information in those scripts and files, but I suspect most users just install them like any other package and don't look inside. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
