Please help. Redownload the floppies, this time make sure you done them as binary files. Then do fdimage from the c: prompt. That will image the .flp files on to the disks. :) Speaking of which... has anyone noticed that dd is a LOT faster then fdimage... ? At least when making boot disks.. :) Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
