| 4 | <para>Note: the MAKEDEV-&makedev-version;.bz2 file you have unpacked is not an archive, so it
|
|---|
| 5 | won't create a directory for you to cd into.</para>
|
|---|
| 6 |
|
|---|
| 7 | <para>Create the device files by running the following commands:</para>
|
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 | <para><screen><userinput>cp MAKEDEV-&makedev-version; /dev/MAKEDEV &&</userinput>
|
|---|
| 10 | <userinput>cd /dev &&</userinput>
|
|---|
| 11 | <userinput>chmod 755 MAKEDEV</userinput></screen></para>
|
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | <para>Now, depending on whether you are going to use devpts or not, you
|
|---|
| 14 | can run one of two commands:</para>
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | <para>If you do not intend to use devpts, run:</para>
|
|---|
| 17 | <para><userinput>./MAKEDEV -v generic</userinput></para>
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | <para>If you do intend to use devpts, then run:</para>
|
|---|
| 20 | <para><userinput>./MAKEDEV -v generic-nopty</userinput></para>
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | <para>Note that if you aren't sure, it's best to use
|
|---|
| 23 | the <userinput>./MAKEDEV -v generic</userinput> command as this will
|
|---|
| 24 | ensure you have the devices you need. If you are sure you are going to
|
|---|
| 25 | use devpts however, the other command makes sure that you don't create a
|
|---|
| 26 | set of devices which you don't require.</para>
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | <para>MAKEDEV will create hda[1-20] to hdh[1-20] and such but keep in mind
|
|---|
| 29 | that you may not be able to use all of those devices due to kernel
|
|---|
| 30 | limitations regarding the max. number of partitions.</para>
