For one thing I don't know what I'm doing with mknod, also it insists that you give both major and minor numbers, and the only number I have is the major one "81", and if I try it using just the major # mknod says it's missing options. What was responsible for the /dev filesystem on FC2 before udev took over on later FC versions? I'm not giving up on FC2, as it's always worked well, even though no longer supported. Someone at LQ suggested a script to load bttv, and I might have to go with that, setting it up in KDE's autostart. Thanks for the help. Nigel.
