Greetings- The June 22 SNAP version still won't install on our network, which has a 255 octet (128.255.32.xxx). Jordan responded to my previous note (wrt 2.0.5R), saying that the network address error checking in the installation was over-zealous and would be corrected in the snap, but apparently the fixes didn't make it in. (The installation still complains about the validity of any address with a 255 in it.) I can't think of a way of building a new installation disk without FreeBSD running (or even with it running, for that matter). We have a new machine to replace a 16MHz 386SX as a router on one of our subnets, plus several faculty saying "Show me this great free UNIX", plus I'd like to replace NetBSD 1.0 on my own machine so I can use SCSI devices along with 32MB memory and an ISA bus . . . Help! larry-granroth@uiowa.edu
