1. Dev's Dev's Dev's

help me please,

I'm on the verge of pulling my hair out.

all i'm trying to do is extract some file from a TAR acheive. (not that hard !)
but all i'm getting is a device error on

/dev/rmt0

but I don't known what it is. it's symbolically linked to the file /dev/st0
but I don't know what that is either...

I'm running 1.1.59 from ftp.demon.co.uk
i've got the "N" series of disks loaded, which i think include premade dev
block and character files ??.

Can some one help me as I can't download anything.

I've tried reinstalling slackware but it just comes up with the same prob.

Cheers
