OK. Then I'll remove the #ifdefs later on and the whole thing is put on two floppies or something. However, that doesn't change the behaviour that setup's first step is to transfer the tclh interpreter & scripts. Or what do you think? I myself HATE it to download three floppies or more, if I could also download one floppy and setup downloads the binaries it uses itself. Did you ever have broken floppies? I always happen to have the second floppy broken, so I've already started the installation and then had to reboot to use a new floppy :) Worst case was the OS/2 installation back some years, where you had to use 4-5 boot-floppies for hte CDROM-install and it took me 2 hours until I got 5 non-broken floppies :)) > BTW, if you can sneak in OpenBSD's naming convention of disk1of2, > disk2of2, I'd like that. :-) ok > /me hopes jkh isn't subscribed to libh heh :) Alex -- cat: /home/alex/.sig: No such file or directory To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-libh" in the body of the message
