Schapachnik > S&M Internet You don't need to. the .aa-.xx files are the actual dist. files, the .inf file is the one that tells the install program ghow many files there are. files such as the .mtree file are just there is you really need to reference. For instance, I believe the .mtree tells you what directories and files appear where when you install it. Maybe nice, easy to debug 'n' stuff, but it's strictly for your reference; it has nothing to do with the install program itself. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* |FreeBSD is good.
