For the mknod problem, I believe there is a solution in newer genrmofs versions. Or you could try to use fakeroot (comes packaged with Debian, don't know about other distros), this does allow you to do most root operations without you being root. greets from Zürich -- vbi This message resent by the uclinux-dev@uclinux.org list server http://www.uClinux.org/
