/dev/ptys is a virtual file system like /proc You simply make the dir
and then mount it with the defaults in your /etc/fstab file. The
slackware kernel may need a line in there that says something like
gid=620,5 (I'm not sure about that part) I hope this helps. btw I got
tinyX to work without all that but only in mono
