Hi, I've gone ahead and installed linux_base-8 on 6.0 RELEASE. What I'd like to know is how are devices handled? For example, and this is crucial to my application, is it possible for a linux application to talk to /dev/st0, and if so how is this accomplished with no /compat/linux/dev directory and with devfs in operation? thanks, joel -- Joel Hatton -- Security Analyst | Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland | WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: auscert@auscert.org.au
