Grab the latest 2.2 or -current bits and build another boot.flp (I'm doing the same). I'm not sure if I fixed *the* bug (and an examination of all the other places where I'm squirreling away data doesn't point up anything further to be obviously suspicious about. I believe this should also fix Frank Durda's ftp-non-retry bug, though that will have to be confirmed pending the availability of an updated boot floppy. FWIW, I also would be happy to see 1.2MB floppies go as of 2.2-RELEASE. Jordan
