First question, isn't there a script for rebuilding the /dev directory? I need to rebuild mine since I stopped udev when it was pointing at /dev and it deleted half the nodes. This is an easy accident to happen, I edited my system for the new config and rebooted. I forgot that udev was running. It picked up /dev instead of /udev from the newly edited config and deleted the nodes out of the wrong directory on shutdown. Second issue, I was forced to put a single device, /dev/console into /dev to make this work. I discovered this because I had deleted all of the common nodes out of /dev. Apparently it needs to be there in the transition from initrd to the boot device. Can this be avoided? This is a real mess if you delete /dev/console. I spent a couple of hours with my rescue disk before I figured out what happened. Third issue, make install does not install a decent set of default permissions. It took me a while to figure out that X wouldn't start because it didn't have permissions on /dev/null and /dev/random. ==Jon Smirl jonsmirl@yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
