-Read the README file for how to install udev.
+Usual options for udev installed in the root filesystem are:
+  ./configure \
+    --prefix=/usr \
+    --sysconfdir=/etc \
+    --sbindir=/sbin \
+    --libdir=/usr/lib64 \
+    --with-rootlibdir=/lib64 \
+    --libexecdir=/lib/udev \
+    --with-selinux
+
+The options used in a RPM spec file usually look like:
+  %configure \
+    --prefix=%{_prefix} \
+    --sysconfdir=%{_sysconfdir} \
+    --sbindir=/sbin \
+    --libdir=%{_libdir} \
+    --with-rootlibdir=/%{_lib} \
+    --libexecdir=/lib/udev \
+    --with-selinux
+
+The defined location for scripts and binaries which are called
+from rules is /lib/udev/ on all systems and architectures. Any
+other location will break other packages, who rightfully expect
+the /lib/udev/ directory, to install their rule helper and udev
+rule files.
+
+It is possible to use the /lib/udev/devices/ directory to place
+device nodes, directories and symlinks, which are copied to /dev/
+at every bootup. That way, nodes for devices which can not be
+detected automatically, or are activated on-demand by opening the
+pre-existing device node, will be available.
+
+Default udev rules and persistent device naming rules may be required
+by other software that depends on the data udev collects from the
+devices.
