--dDRMvlgZJXvWKvBx Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hello folks, So, the easy part first. I did the necessary changes to the Handbook sources to correctly refer to kern.flp and mfsroot.flp, however, I just got mail from bmah stating that at one time, the (then only) boot floppy image was indeed called boot.flp. This was quiet long time ago, so the question is: do we want to support FreeBSD versions this old in the Handbook? If so, the patches need rewording to mention the change in the image naming convention. If not, the patches may be the solution for now. I can do the first option too, just tell. -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szombathely Hungary --dDRMvlgZJXvWKvBx Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="books::handbook::backups::chapter.sgml.patch" Index: backups/chapter.sgml =================================================================== RCS file: /usr/home/cc/ncvs/freebsd//doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/backups/chapter.sgml,v retrieving revision 1.47 diff -u -r1.47 chapter.sgml --- backups/chapter.sgml 29 Apr 2002 12:14:05 -0000 1.47 +++ backups/chapter.sgml 13 Jul 2002 15:35:24 -0000 @@ -485,7 +485,7 @@ <indexterm><primary>fix-it floppies</primary></indexterm> <para>Second, determine that the boot and fix-it floppies - (<filename>boot.flp</filename> and <filename>fixit.flp</filename>) + (<filename>kern.flp</filename>, <filename>mfsroot.flp</filename> and <filename>fixit.flp</filename>) have all your devices.
