The kernel needs to have devtmpfs built in. /dev/pts is mounted in mountfs in the line mount -a -O no_netdev >/dev/null In fstab, you need the line: devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/shm is created in mountvirtfs: mount -n /run mkdir -p /run/var /run/lock /run/shm chmod 1777 /run/shm ... ln -sfn /run/shm /dev/shm -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
