No I don't have one, I will try that when I get home. What should I do, just create a directory entry, or do I need to put anything there? My machine is constantly upgraded (by installing rpms) cooker whore, I never do a "from scratch" install (believe it or not it started out as a RH5.1); so what other things should I look for that are supposed to be created by the install? What about the /dev/.devfsd character special node? How is this created, what min,maj? Is it needed? I saw it on the rc.sysinit script ...
