#  systems, you need something to recreate the device files with
#  the correct minor device numbers.  This will need to run at boot.

1. changing major/minor numbers of devices.

Hello.

As I posted before, I can't use the Xterm with the Linux 2.2.2 kernel.
I've read that the major/minor numbers of devices ( tty .etc ) were
changed from the 2.1.115? version.

Well, there is a man page for changing it. But I want a
package or utility programs for chaning it automatically.
( Because the devices are very critical. )

Are there any programs for doing such a thing?

Thanks.
