The 2 floppy install *WILL* work on a Vaio using a USB drive. I did it a couple of weeks ago on a PCG-C1X. (Of course, now it's running -current.) -- Your message was: (from ""Jordan K.

The 2nd floppy is read in while still under the control of the BIOS, so I see no reason why it wouldn't work (also, I've installed 3.2 from the boot floppies on my libretto).. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message -- End of Message -- T.T.F.N., Dave Truesdell / dtruesdell@att.com/davet@ttfn.com / UNIX system administrator To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
