I dodged the Windows bullet. Whew! Now, I have the install CD #1, and three other coasters. I never was prompted to use the other three CDs. What are they for and if it's cool stuff, how do I get it off there onto my fresh clean install of FreeBSD 4.7? I already tried the SGI syntax I'm used to and did 'mount CDROM' to no avail. Then 'mount cdrom' and still nothing. Is there an automount like in IRIX or OSX/Darwin? -Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- _ /~\ The ASCII \ / Ribbon Campaign X Help Cure Q:Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. / \ HTML Email A:Why is top posting frowned upon?
