+If you want to build the udev helper programs:
+ make EXTRAS="extras/cdrom_id extras/scsi_id extras/volume_id"
+
+
+Installation:
+ - The install target intalls the udev binaries in the default locations,
+ All at boot time reqired binaries will be installed in /sbin.
+
+ - The default location for scripts and binaries that are called from
+ rules is /lib/udev. Other packages who install udev rules, should use
+ that directory too.
+
+ - It is recommended to use the /lib/udev/devices directory to place
+ device nodes and symlinks in, which are copied to /dev at every boot.
+ That way, nodes for broken subsystems or devices which can't be
+ detected automatically by the kernel, will always be available.
+
+ - Copies of the rules files for all major distros are in the etc/udev
+ directory (you may look there how others distros are doing it).
