making devices
Hello,
Could some kind soul please explain something I've never really figured
out: how to make devices under /dev. Like today I tried to set up my
scanner, but as there are no /dev/scanner (which is I think supposed to
be a link) or /dev/sg* SANE can't detect anything. "MAKEDEV" says it
doesn't know how to make the device "scanner". I have a clean Potato box
and the scanner worked under Slink, but then again it had /dev/scanner.
Thanks for the enlightenment.
And on a totally unrelated note: I wanted to see what this Quake is all
about so I installed quake-svga, quake-x11 and quake-lib. When I invoke
:/usr/games# ./quake-svga it comes back with "./quake-svga.real: No such
file or directory" but quake-svga.real is also under /usr/games. What
gives?
Cheerio,
Hans
