From: David Anselmi To: lfs-discuss@linuxfromscratch.org Subject: Re: LFS MAKEDEV script Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2001 22:07:56 -0600 First paragraph from the email: To me, seems that the makedev script is not very LFS-like. It wouldn't surprise me to have a page in the book that says ""now make all your device files with the following mknod commands"" and lists the minimal set of device files (perhaps with a mention of the handy makedev script). After all, LFS is a minimal install that you build what you want on top. Why shouldn't it provide a minimal set of devices and you build what you need on top? --- Would be great to have in the LFS-3.0 release. I'll give it a start immediately (as soon as I finish building here in chapter 5)" defect closed lowest Book CVS normal duplicate
