They are only real devices within the fakeroot instance used during the build. They are only normal files on disk (fakeroot is playing tricks). Outside of fakeroot you see the regular files. > I have to manualy delete them and cp the basic one from my system root/dev. You should not need to do that. What output image format are you using? (ext2fs etc)? Please post the output of the final stages of make, where the fakeroot script is generated and the image creation tool is run. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB
