I keep seeing ref to boot images for floopies for boxes whose bios does not support cd boot but in all my flailing I can't seem to locate where these files are to dl them. How about a link in the various docs to the site that has the latest stable ver for boot images, or at least a link to the page that has links to the ftp sites. Would make it much easier for ppl like me to find. If you could tell me where to get these suckers I would appreciate it. In all the destructions I've read on the site about ftp, mirror sites, latest ver needing multiple floopies, errata refs, and faqs I have yet to see a url. Please end my suffering and help me. I have come to the conclusion that confusion is more than a state of mind. _rich_ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
