Check your setup if you have those links int /etc/rcS.d/ that solved it - I had only the link to mountdevsubfs.sh but not the one to udev in rcS. After adding it and a reboot, things work fine. I still don't know why I hadn't this link in the first place, however. Thank you very much! Best, --Toni++ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I can open 15 xterm, but on the 16th, I get: xterm: Error 32, errno 2: No such file or directory Reason: get_pty: not enough ptys Going to /dev and running ./MAKEDEV pty yields this message: # ./MAKEDEV pty udev active, devices will be created in /dev/.static/dev/ In that directory, I have 256 pty devices (how to increase that?), but xterm doesn't appear to see them. I've considered reporting this problem against the udev package, but was turned away by their message about reporting bugs to udev.
