Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello. Q1: How do I do The Task, below? Q2: Are there any other configuration files that I should make copies of in preparation for the new system? (Note: I want the new system to have the same capabilities as the old system.) Important Facts =============== * The existing installation has *no* man pages. * The existing installation has *no* MS-DOS clone commands (e.g., "mcd", "mcopy", etc.) * I could not figure out if the system has what it takes to mount an MS-DOS file system -- I don't know where things are. * The resulting floppy must be readable by Win98SE. The Task ======== I'm trying to make backup copies of /etc/rc.conf /etc/defaults/rc.conf /usr/local/s_apache/bin/apachectl prior to overwriting 3.3 (i.e., GallantWEB) with 4.5. The backup media is a 1.44MB floppy formatted with MS-DOS. After about an hour of trying to access disc 2 of the CD set (i.e., the live file system), I finally figured out mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/??? /cdrom ??? ==> I don't remember what the device name is in GallantWEB, but it is *not* cd0a. Luckily, I can find it again with this command: more /etc/fstab (which *only* took me about 1/2 hour to discover). All help is appreciated.
