Um, to bring this all back to boot-floppies, is there a claim that there is a problem in base in that /dev/pts is not there? If so, wouldn't that be a bug in libc6 or would it really be a problem in the boot-floppies base building scripts. I'm pretty ignorant about this stuff, so I would appreciate informed advice. -- .....Adam Di Carlo....adam@onShore.com.....<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
