How should I know whether devfs is used or not? Or in other words, what is the default method when installing Debian (Woody of course)? > > The package which creates the /dev/ files may need fixing, if that > is the case. > > Which version of installer have you used ? Well, you probably don't like to hear from me that I used "debian-unofficial" CDs. They are dated 01/03/2002, from ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/debian-unofficial/. I think that they contain boot-floppies 3.0.18-2001-12-21. I don't know the exact version of installer in this package. There was no way for me to install Woody because of the almost famous Bug#126188: boot-floppies: "Malformed Release file". So I got the unofficial CDs. I started this thread because this limitation was always present in Debian. It's not specifically a Woody "bug". What's next?
