/dev/pts question
hello, as I understand, /dev/pts was created to make an end to the overload in /dev/ and let the kernel put the entries in /dev/pts when they are used/needed/installed. but still, when I enable /dev/pts, I have to keep the /dev/ for backward compatibility with already installed applications that rely on them. would it be possible/sane to make like a /dev/* (some sort of a /dev/B-compatible) besides /dev/pts, where the kernel `translates' the /dev/ request to /dev/* and then `translate' that to the correct /dev/pts entry ?? at least, something like that... -- elko - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
