Seth,
In the interest of making things easier why not create a simple tarball with the kern.flp &
mfsroot.flp, fidimage.exe and a it's docs, as well as the fBSD how to and stuff like that for the
current version. Call it an express intall kit if you like. Well it's just a thought and really
wouldn't take much to throw that into the mix as well.
Cheers,
mikel
