I just burned the iso for 4.2RC1 and I can not find fdimage.exe anywhere on the disk, nor can I find mkflp.bat. This would be a tad frustraiting to a new user who needs to boot from the floppies and doesn't have an alternate way of picking them up.... The readme in the floppies directory rather implies that they are both in that directory (actually its mute on the topic but that would be my assumption if I were reading it as a new user). The install.txt file in the root sends us to the floppies directory. The on-line handbook claims the fdimage.exe file can be found in the tools subdirectory. There doesn't seem to be a tools directory on the disk. I've never played with a RC before so perhaps this is a normal situation? If I were a new user just coming to FreeBSD I would be completely lost (heh, maybe I'm missing the obvious and I'm completely lost now;) ________________________________________________________________________ Darren Henderson darren@bmv.state.me.us darren.henderson@state.me.us To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
