I have an ancient linux that I want to run on a modern linux host. It's an old Caldera with a 2.2 kernel. I want to change the directory to an iso image and mount some device to operate it. Does anyone know the major and minor numbers of anything I need to create with mknod to mount this linux on my RH linux host? Bill
