i believe all you have to do is create these two:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5, 2 Apr 11 17:51 /dev/ptmx
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Feb 11 06:48 /dev/pts
compile in kernel support and then mount devpts on /dev/pts
. oh yeah - and i think you need glibc2.1, in which case you'd better
wait for potato ;)
(and potato's /etc/init.d/devpts.sh does all the above steps for you
anyway)
