creating a new tty

[litap1985]

hey guys,
my program accidently deleted the /dev/tty2 file.i need it back or how can i create a new one since i cannot use that terminal.

[kern]

download this package *assuming you are on 10.2 stable*

http://slackware.it/en/pb/download.p....3.1-noarch-22

if not , get the right package using the search function on that site for your slack version

now, cd into the directory it is installed and type

upgradepkg --reinstall devs*.tgz

that will reinstall that package (which contains the /dev/tty2 file)

you could MAKEDEV it too, but this way is practical


that should do it

[kern]

http://slackware.it/en/pb/download.p....3.1-noarch-21

sorry - I noticed you are running 10.1 - you want this file instead

[litap1985]

can we get it done using the slackware installation disks.

[kern]

yes, just get that package from the disk

you should know how to 'find' it right?
