I've been using SWiM Motif 2.0 for FreeBSD for a few months and haven't run across any problems other than the installation script not being correct. It does sound like you've got a bad floppy. I'd offer to send you the missing (corrupted) floppy, but I don't think that would be legal. Dan Eischen deischen@iworks.InterWorks.org
