Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I was happily trying to ftp the 950501 snapshot when someone ftp'd it out from under me. After I realized what was happening, I started to ftp down the 960611 snapshot set. Now... since I've got this really dumb laptop and broken serial ports on my BSDI workstation, I'm forced to install from floppy. At one point, I realized that the install was failing because I had the old boot disk. This meant that it was looking for the wrong number of certain sequences of files and failing. Anyways, I got the 960611 boot disk... and it works... to a point. When I boot from it, and choose floppies as my media, it fails. It only looks for the .tgz version of the files. Can this be corrected quickly? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |David Gilbert, ISG, Mississauga, Ontario. | Two things can only be | |Mail: dgilbert@isgtec.com | equal if and only if they | |http://www.pci.on.ca/~dgilbert | are precisely opposite. | ---------------------------------------------------------GLO----------------
