From the 3.1 errata: o DOS installation fails when you actually follow the instructions to install stuff under C:\FREEBSD\BIN\... and so on. Fix: The instructions are correct but the code was wrong in 3.1-RELEASE, sysinstall looking instead directly under C:\ (e.g. C:\BIN\...) or under C:\RELEASES\ (C:\RELEASES\BIN\... and so on). Fixed in 3.1-STABLE. > Doug White > Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve > http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | www.freebsd.org > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org My Webpage http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~markov _______________________________________________________________ Mark Ovens, CNC Apps Engineer, Radan Computational Ltd.
