Hello, I just upgraded to a new 2.2 SNAP (the one from the 1st of may) by doing 'make world' and making a new kernel. /stand is unchanged however, and also the boot and root floppy images were not rebuilt. Is it necessary to upgrade /stand too, or can I completely remove /stand. What exactly is the function of the programs in /stand after the system has been installed? In case of emergency you're better of with a boot/root floppy to repair things I think. How do I make a new boot floppy? Do I need to put the root image on a floppy too? I didn't need it during my initial install because that was from tape. But it might be useful as a kind of rescue floppy, in case my root partition will ever get hosed. Thanks, -- ______________________________________________________________________ Peter Mutsaers | Abcoude (Utrecht), | "Quod licet bovis, plm@simplex.nl | the Netherlands | non licet Jovi."
