Subject: xterm: no available ptys
Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2000 12:37:38 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20001106203738.17935.qmail@web110.yahoomail.com> (raw)

Hello,

I have created a trimmed down /dev directory to be
used with my custom bootable Linux CD.  I've run into
a problem where I can't start an xterm.  I get the
error...

xterm:  no available ptys

I'm not sure which device I'm missing in /dev.  I'm no
expert on how the tty's and stuff work so feel free to
fill me in. Everything else seems to work fine on the
CD.

Here is what my /dev directory looks like now:

/dev:
console
cua0
cua1
cua2
cua3
fb
fb0
fb1
fb2
fb3
fb4
fb5
fb6
fb7
fd0
fd1
hda
hdb
hdc
hdd
kmem

mouse
null
psaux

ram

ram1

ram3
ramdisk
scd0
scd1
scd2
scd3
scd4
scd5
scd6
scd7
tty
tty0
tty1
tty2
ttyp0
ttyp1
ttyp2
ttyp3
ttyp4
urandom
zero

Am I missing something?

Any help appreciated!
