When I create current live images I get the following error during the 
installation of the packages:

socket

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets
According to the scriptlet documentation, %post $1 should equal 1 during
installation and 2 during upgrade.  I also noticed that there is a logic bug, it
shouldn't be using chkconfig --del during %post.  I'm guessing this was a copy &
paste problem?

%preun
if [ "$1" = 0 -a -f %{_initrddir}/udev ]; then
Furthermore the %preun seems to make no sense.  When will this ever be true?  In
any case it appears to be harmless at least.  

The following patch should fix this and result in proper behavior.  Some review
please?

I've grabbed you patch, created a local RPM and build a new live image with it.
The installation of udev is now silent. But I haven't had the time yes to do
some further tests (not even start the image).
