I've been working away from home for some months so I don't have access to my LFS/BLFS boxes. As I mentioned before, I upgraded LFS 6.11 from what was an early version of udev (which needed hotplug) to a relatively recent version. I had no problems that I can remember; i think that I just overwrote the old version and removed hotplug, although maybe I removed both first -- not sure. . My advice though is to work on a copy of the OS -- that way if something does go wrong then you have other copies to fall back on. It also means that you don't have to work on a live version. i usually have different copies that I can boot into from grub. i can run from the master and mount other copies (directories or files) on a temporary mount point; trying different upgrades on each. If it doesn't work out (if you can't boot into that copy) then you can delete that copy and you still have the master. Richard
