This assumes you're going to use a msdos diskette, and not, say, a Linux ext2fs (or is it still minix?) diskette, or some other format of diskette. (never used any diskettes on my FreeBSD boxen... never seen the need) :) I think the general thought is that it's not something that people are likely to use often, and if it were added, it would mean allowing for msdos diskettes, linux ones, etc. Neil -- Neil Blakey-Milner nbm@rucus.ru.ac.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
