[Cooker] What is devpts ??

[Nigel . Webber]

Hi

I can an error during mandrake 7.2 boot (I have messed with it) saying that
devpts cant be mounted cause the filetype is unknown. There is an entry
in fstab that causes this error.

What is devpts ?? I assume that I am missing it in my kernel, but dont know
what option to include to get devpts - and ... what does it do (do I need it?)
