The directory has a boot.flp and mfsroot.flp. The README.TXT tells you how to write the images to a floppy.I always did wrote them on a W2K Server using ../tools/fdimage.exe. After you have loaded the 2nd floppy, you are just like you had booted from the CD-ROM. Kent -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA http://users.owt.com/kstewart/index.html
