| 43 | Chapter 5: Added Makedev to chapter 5. We don't create the device files
|
---|
| 44 | here, only copy the MAKEDEV script and make a temp copy which will be
|
---|
| 45 | used to create device files. This second file (MAKEDEV-temp) doesn't
|
---|
| 46 | contain user names and group names but only user id's and group id's. We
|
---|
[2483c44] | 47 | need a few device files to get Glibc installed, but, before Glibc is
|
---|
| 48 | installed, user and group names are not recognized yet, only the numeric
|
---|
[c93a7a6] | 49 | id's. This requires a slightly modified MAKEDEV script which will be
|
---|
| 50 | generated by patching the original one. This patching is done here in
|
---|
[ee6b6fb] | 51 | chapter 5. Also, fixed the explanations on both makedev installations.
