Hmm guys, I don't know what's happening here, whether my posts are going
through to you guys, but there wasn't a single reply as to whether it's
just me going crazy or something is wrong with cooker.
C'mon, it's not that hard to run "screen" and see whether it starts up or
not and reply to my post "Worx here / doesn't work here either".
Now I got tired of wating to find out whether anybody will bother to read
/ respond, so what I had to do to get it working :
# mv /dev/ptmx /dev/ptmx_
# rpm --rebuild screen-3.9.8-3mdk.src.rpm
# screen # -- now worx fine.
So what's with /dev/ptmx ? Does "screen" expect something unreasonable
from it, or screen is reasonable, but the kernel is behaving unreasonably?
TTYL,
Jan
