In the chrooted environment. When I start it directly in the live cd |
| 38 |
session, it seems to work just fine. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
When it works (from live cd), it creates a device file /dev/pts/0 in |
| 41 |
(presumably) the installation ram disk. When it doesn't work (from |
| 42 |
chrooted environment) it fails to create /dev/pts/0, even though /dev/pts |
| 43 |
exists inside the chrooted root filesystem. |
