Yellow Dog Linux Bugfix Announcement
------------------------------------

Package:	MAKEDEV	
Issue Date: 	July 25, 2001
Priority:	low		
Advisory ID: 	YDU-20010725-19


1. 	Topic:

	Updated MAKEDEV packages are available.


2. 	Problem:

	The dev sub-package, which is produced by the
	MAKEDEV package was missing several /dev 
	devices utilized by the 2.4 kernel series.
	
	The updated packages add these new devices
	which will allow better support of the
	2.4 kernel.


3. 	Solution:

   	a) Updating via yup...
   	We suggest that you use the Yellow Dog Update Program (yup)
   	to keep your system up-to-date. The following command(s) will
   	automatically retrieve and install the fixed version of
   	this update onto your system:

   		yup update MAKEDEV
		yup update dev 

   	b) Updating manually...
   	The update can also be retrieved manually from our ftp site
   	below along with the rpm command that should be used to install
   	the update.  (Please use a mirror site)

   		ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/updates/yellowdog-2.0/ppc/RPMS/
                rpm -Fvh MAKEDEV-3.1.0-14a.ppc.rpm
		rpm -Fvh dev-3.1.0-14a.ppc.rpm
