The makedev package will happily create the pmu device as part of the 'misc' target, but debootstrap does not appear to create the 'misc' devices by default, and I'm not sure if/when anyone else does.
If GNOME wants the pmu device, it might make sense for an appropriate GNOME package to call '/sbin/MAKEDEV misc' in postinst? Bdale -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
