I think you are righ on fact for modern udev (or even devfs) system. But I haver been using mostly full unstable system vand quite busy to sest all fancy tricks. Can you elucidate me why this is needed? Also what kind of system configuration affects this. Also when this became important. Sarge or Woody... Also where this needs to be added. You mean like... main # cd / ; mkdir /sid-root main # debootstrap sid /sid-root http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ ... watch it download the whole system main # echo "proc-sid /sid-root/proc proc none 0 0" >> /etc/fstab main # mount proc-sid /sid-root/proc -t proc main # cp /etc/hosts /sid-root/etc/hosts main # chroot /sid-root /bin/bash chroot # cd /dev ; ./MAKEDEV generic ; cd - chroot # apt-setup # set-up /etc/apt/sources.list chroot # vi /etc/apt/sources.list # point the source to unstable chroot # dselect # you may use aptitude, install mc and vim :-) and main # cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /sid-root/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 main # chroot /sid-root # or use chroot console chroot # apt-setup # set-up /etc/apt/sources.list chroot # apt-get install gdm gnome x-window-system chroot # vi /etc/gdm/gdm.conf # do s/vt7/vt9/ in [servers] section chroot # /etc/init.d/gdm start Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
