Re: sound inside the chroot

[spamtree@comcast.net (A. P. Kennedy)]

I had to mount /dev because I use udev and my /dev directory in chroot
was almost empty, and had no sound information (/dev/dsp, /dev/snd,
/dev/mixer, etc). That is the only way sound worked on my system. If
you are using devfs or udev, the /dev directory needs to mounted. I
suspect this needs to be changed in the howto.

Good luck, 

Alan
