+<title>Installation of Udev</title>
+
+<para>By default, the permissions udev assigns to nodes are all uniform,
+being owned by user root, group root, and only accessible to root. As you
+can easily imagine, this isn't ideal. Give it a much better configuration
+by applying the following patch:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../udev-&udev-version;-config-1.patch
+</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>The udevstart program hardcodes the path to the udev program in itself,
+which is bad since we install udev in a non-standard location. Fix this by
+running the following:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>sed -i 's:\/sbin\/udev:/tools&amp;:' udevstart.c</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>Also assure that udev knows the correct location to look for its
+configuration files:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>sed -i 's:\/etc:/tools&amp;:' etc/udev/udev.conf.in</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>Now compile Udev:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>make prefix=/tools etcdir=/tools/etc</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>Generate Udev's main configuration file:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>make udevdir=/dev etc/udev/udev.conf</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>And install finally install it:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>make DESTDIR=/tools install</userinput></screen>
