| 14 | <para>Most people will now want to create devices by running:</para>
|

| 15 | <para><screen><userinput>./MAKEDEV -v generic</userinput></screen></para>
|

| 16 |
|

| 17 | <para>But if you intend to use devpts, then run this instead:</para>

| 18 | <para><screen><userinput>./MAKEDEV -v generic-nopty</userinput></screen></para>

|

| 20 | <para>Note that if you aren't sure, it's best to use the
|
|---|
| 21 | <userinput>./MAKEDEV -v generic</userinput> command as this will ensure you
|
|---|
| 22 | have all the devices you need. But if you are certain you are going to use
|
|---|
| 23 | devpts, the other command skips creating a set of devices you won't need.</para>
|

| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | <para><filename>MAKEDEV</filename> will create hda[1-20] to hdh[1-20] and
|
|---|
| 26 | many more of such disk device nodes, but keep in mind that you probably won't
|
|---|
| 27 | be able to use all of these, due to kernel limits on the maximum number of
