I made one of our variation of FreeBSD a few years back when it was only two floppies - had just gone up from 1 to 2. It would take me a while to remember what I had to do, but pretty much everything I did was right out of documentation with maybe a little research on some other online publication sites (OnLamp, etc). So, study a little and good luck, ////jerry > Thanks. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
