6<para>Please note that unpacking the MAKEDEV-&makedev-version;.bz2 file
7doesn't create a directory for you to <userinput>cd</userinput> into, as
8the file contains one shell script.</para>
9
10<para>Install the MAKEDEV script:</para>
11
12<para><screen><userinput>bzcat MAKEDEV-&makedev-version;.bz2 &gt; /dev/MAKEDEV
13chmod 754 /dev/MAKEDEV</userinput></screen></para>
14
15<para>Run the script to create the device files:</para>
16
17<para><screen><userinput>cd /dev
18./MAKEDEV -v generic</userinput></screen></para>
19
20<para>If a device you need is missing, try running
21<userinput>./MAKEDEV -v &lt;device&gt;</userinput>. Alternatively, you may
22create devices via the <emphasis>mknod</emphasis> program. Please refer to
23the man and info pages of <emphasis>mknod</emphasis> if you need more
24information.</para>
25
26<para>If you intend to use <emphasis>devpts</emphasis>, pass the
27<userinput>generic-nopty</userinput> option to <filename>MAKEDEV</filename>.
28This creates the same devices as <userinput>generic</userinput>, but it skips
29the creation of <emphasis>pty</emphasis> devices so that
30<emphasis>devpts</emphasis> can manage those.</para>
