I removed the offensive strip and Pico-BSD loaded up to shell. Consequently, I am now also able to load up some floppy-based Linux OSs that didn't load up before. Thanks for the help, folks. As some others on this list pointed out, I won't be able to accomplish my goal using Pico-BSD. Does anyone know of a floppy-based installation of BSD, sort of like the Slackware/ZipSlack Linux projects, where I can pick and choose which modules to install? ===== Sevag Krikorian -=[Kain]=- http://www.geocities.com/kahlinor/index.html __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
