Yes, but the "running slink with kernel 2.2" page *assumes* you are
running a fully up-to-date slink. So mentioning 'makedev' explicitly
doesn't make sense if it's already fixed in 2.1r3.
All you are saying AFAICT is that you want to make sure you're all the
way up-to-date. I could add a para to this effect at the top. Would
that be sufficient?
