+* no idea where the hell udev is covered in here, but we need to do a bit of
+  talk about it.  Nothing too advanced, and we definitely DO NOT want to 
+  imply that users should have to do much with udev.  All of the asshattery
+  out there with trying to automount shit with udev is, well, asshattery.
+  * need to mention that /etc/udev/rules.d/<somefile> overrides an identically
+    named file in /lib/udev/rules.d/
+  * need to mention persistent rules that are system-generated, especially
+    in reference to how the admin might be misled into thinking that they are
+    causing breakage...

   "Now that we've created out initrd" -> "Now that we've created our initrd"
-  "most of these warnings are issued by the use of LVM" << I think that at this point of the book, people will be scared off by the unfamiliar 'LVM' and listing "/dev/raven/64root" as a root device may be confusing to people who expect something like "/dev/sda1". Better to discuss LVM later on.

-  "The second most popular way to configure X on your system is the handy xorgconfig(1)." << Factually, this is no longer true. The xorgconfig and xorgcfg utilities have been removed as per Slackware 13.0.  What you *should* mention is that the X in Slackware will auto-configure itself if a xorg.conf file is missing (or will automatically configure components for any sections that are missing from an existing xorg.conf using the information it receives from the HAL daemon)

-  You could mention the tool here that is most sought after in IRC and forums: the "gpasswd" program whicl allows you to add a user to one additional group without touching on your current group management (remember that "usermod -G" will not retain your current group membership while "gpasswd -a" will).
