Very Computer

Hi guys,

A friend of mine told me that it was possible to completely re-create
the /dev directory by using the mknod command...!!!  How is this
done...???

The same friend deleted the /dev directory on one of my systems...  Any
and all help will be appreciated...  Thanks...

Yes, it's possible. Not something you'd want to do manually, though.

You'll want to use something like the MAKEDEV script. Slackware installs
this script in /dev, but the script itself appears to be maintained by
redhat. Search on freshmeat, the redhat site, or look through one of your
other systems and I bet you'll find it. If you can't find it, I can mail
you a copy.
