That contains the contents of kern.flp and mfsroot.flp on a single floppy, essentially, and can be used in all of the above scenarios as well as a handy boot image for those mastering "El Torito" bootable CD images. See the mkisofs(1) command for more information. just wondering, but does anyone know where to get some 2.88 MB floppies? from what i gather, having everything on one floppy should make life a bit easier. -- --===-----=======-----------=============-----------------=================== rbw aka bjp | today has never happened and it doesn't frighten me. rbw@myplace.org | -bjork, alarm call, homogenic ===================-----------------=============-----------=======-----===-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
