so I tried that mknod, which wont work as im running off a ram disk ( core linux install ).
When I formated the partition : mke2fs /dev/hda9, I used another distro - bbc linux, as the mke2fs program with core linux didnt seem to work, it too couldent find /dev/hda9.
er, lol.. Im by far not an expert linux user, but look at my last post.
I currently CANT create the special file, as its a read only file system... Thats what I need to try and work around ?
besides, I hate learning curves, if I get this working tonight, ill of evolved from a rhl wizard install to a full blown text base do it your self job.
