I don't remember the details, but what I ended up doing was booting off of the distribution cdrom or floppy, going into "fixit" mode, and mounting the "live filesystem" cd to have a functional system without using the hard disk at all. Then I fsck/mounted the root partition off the hard disk on /mnt, and was then able to go into /dev of that disk (now mounted on /mnt/dev) and run the needed MAKEDEV... Hope this helps. ________________________________________________________________________ William R.
