I remember running RH5.1 when it first came out and deciding I would get
rid of everything I didn't need, like all those little /dev/files like
ptty* using rm -fr * (who needs all that garbage anyways??).
When I realized I goofed I spent the whole night using mknod to put back
the stuff I needed. Unfortunately (NOBODY TOLD ME!!!) I didn't know that
nodes were assigned.
So when I tried to reboot @#$%^&*&^%$#.
The next day I reloaded.
