36 | Chapter 5: Added Makedev to chapter 5. We don't create the device files
|
---|
37 | here, only copy the MAKEDEV script and make a temp copy which will be
|
---|
38 | used to create device files. This second file (MAKEDEV-temp) doesn't
|
---|
39 | contain user names and group names but only user id's and group id's. We
|
---|
40 | need a few device files to get Glibc installed, but before GLibc is
|
---|
41 | installed user and group names are not recognized yet; only the numeric
|
---|
42 | id's. This requires a slightly modified MAKEDEV script which will be
|
---|
43 | generated by patching the original one. This patching is done here in
|
---|
44 | chapter 5. Also, fixed the explanations on both makedev installations.
