Something more like: Ok - I'll take your word that "./MAKEDEV snd0" works. As far as "giving more details of the error" goes, that would be a lot less hassle for me if I had internet access from home, and didn't have to use web-cafes (where time costs money). > > When I run ./MAKEDEV snd it fails like this: > > $ ./MAKEDEV snd > expr: syntax error > bad node: mknod mixer Yeh ... well I tend to write shell-scripts that give meaningful error diagnostics when they can't handle a command-line argument.
