Obviously 'cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV null' will fix. Oh, and fixing the script would be useful too ;-) David. -- Pacific Internet (Australia) Pty Ltd Business card: http://www.luyer.net/bc.html Important notice: http://www.pacific.net.au/disclaimer/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
