Thanks Doug. I've had no exposure to CVS. I suppose I'll have read up on it. is there anywhere I can get newer disk images ready to go? As far as the kernel configuration goes, I'm not editing files directly to do this (I don't know what files to edit and what goes in them anyway). I'm using the 'Visual configuration manager' that an option comes up for each time on boot. I assume this creates a file that the generic PicoBSD kernel runs against when properly initialising? I know how to mount the floppy but I just need to know what files to copy to it. I managed to get natd lke functionality going on the dial version. Thanks.
