This morning, my ThinkPad couldn't boot. The only floppy *flp set I find out there is 5.3-BETA7 and the fixit.flp disc has read errors. (I tried twice, new floppies.) I think what would would would be to get in there with a good fixit, mount /usr, and cp /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/ZEN/kernel /kernel; I'm assuming the buildkkernel did work. SO: nutshell: where are the 5.3-RELEASE floppies? I don't have a burner so can burn a "Live" CDROM. google finds nothing besides the BETA7 flp's. thanks for some clues, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
