Then - assuming you do not already know the answer (as obviously, I don't) determine which of the documents would tell you how to use the Fixit disk. BTW, Mike and Chuck gave info which is not accurate for v5 Release Disk2 (It's OK for v4.6, except that /mnt2/usr/bin doen't exist) and apart from one O'Reilly book which I shall seek out, they basically suggest simply that I read all the man pages for the commands available in Fixit mode. FBSD has excellent documentation in so many areas that I find it VERY strange that Fixit use is such an exception. I can't even get a description of the Fixit structure or a list of all the commands available, other than by booting from the Fixit CD and looking. That's odd. -- Brian -- Brian ----------------------------------------------- This message sent through Adam Internet Webmail http://www.adam.com.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
