Yes, that's from 2.15, the section you've been bashing on. Feel free to help us getting DEVFS into the state where it can be enabled by default. This will render the above step no longer required. Until it's done, you still need to mknod(8) your device nodes, as other people before you used to do it for 25 years now. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
