However, when checking my eMail just now, I noticed that with the forthcomming 4.5-RCs, the new cdboot will be used as well as the current method (cdldr) in order to create the bootable install CDs. Now I wonder what implications that has on the above method. If anyone knows a place where I can find more information, for example, some document explaining how to make use of cdboot? Or will cdboot not have any implcations on the above way of creating the install CDs? I really don't know - I guess cdboot is rather new and there are not yet much (if any) information available, at least my search for them failed... Any hints on where I should look are welcome ;-) Greetings Nils -- Nils Holland Ti Systems - FreeBSD in Tiddische, Germany http://www.tisys.org * nils@tisys.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
