21 | Chapter 4: Tell the user to use cfdisk rather than fdisk. The fdisk man

26 | Chapter 4: Changed the wording to make it more general as ext2 no

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