    I finally managed to upgrade udev without breaking the system. If anyone is about to make this step - please read this post.
    I upgraded all 3 packages: libudev,libgudev and udev to version 160-1
    To make the system work I had to edit line 109 of /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig. I commented out the original line:
    /sbin/udevd --daemon && \
    and added below it:
    /etc/init.d/udev start 2>/dev/null >/dev/null

    So far there are no side effects. FSTAB is recreated properly at every boot. pcmanfm mounts all drives-hard drives and usb
    kl522 claims that upgrading udev does not break his system without the modification of knoppix-autoconfig, but unfortunately this is not the case here.
    According to me the upgraded udevd fails to start in daemon mode using the original command included in knoppix-autoconfig. If any ill effects show up I will post them here

    Related to the other thread I posted, I would be interested to know if you add a device after you booted into Xwindows, and as soon as it drive object appears on the pcmanfm, you click on it to see if it is mountable.

    Example, if you boot from a flash drive, there will be /media/sdaX and /media/sdbX stuff created since boot ( sdaX for internal harddisk and sdbX for the knoppix boot image). Then you add yet another usb thumb drive, by right udev should create a /media/sdcX for you to mount the usb. But 'rebuildfstab' is doing it in the background. I have seen on my computer cases where the drive object appears in pcmanfm, but yet the directory is not created fast enough. I am interested to know if it happens on other computer.
