Simpler is better. Why use $major_release at all. The following
will work as well and makes the script simpler instead of more
complicated:
case `uname -r` in
[01].*|2.[01].*)
# Old kernel - no devfs or devpts
;;
*)
# Have
case $solution in
... etc
In fact, it looks like the whole case statement can be deleted.
For 1.* and 2.0,2.1 kernels $devpts will be false anyway.
