I suggest to if not switch to that format to at least start discussing if that would be feasible or could be used for an even better install disk or fixit floppies. BTW I tried to mount one of the Win95 Install disks and got a kernel messages: blues# mount -t msdos /dev/fd0.1720 /mnt mountmsdosfs(): root directory is not a multiple of the clustersize in length blues# blues# ls /mnt win95_08.cab blues# umount /mnt --Chris Christoph P.
