227 | (MAKEDEV-temp) doesn't contain user names and group names but only user

228 | id's and group id's. We need a few device files to get Glibc installed,
|
---|
229 | but before GLibc is installed user and group names are not recognized yet;
|
---|
230 | only the numeric id's. This requires a slightly modified MAKEDEV script
|
---|
231 | which will be generated by patching the original one. This patching is done

232 | here in chapter 5. Also, fixed the explanations on both
