Urban" Message-Id: <9607210315.AA07192@nasaxp.rto.dec.com> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: floppy install of 2.2-960612-SNAP Cc: urban@rto.dec.com Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello all, It's 5:00 am and I just got done writing the 24 floopies for the install -- I'm installing a laptop and none of my PCMCIA cards are supported by PAO. The INSTALL.TXT is not very clear _what_ needs to be on the floppies and how it needs to be organized. I packed as much as I could onto each floppy (as the guide recommends) such that files from more that on distribution were mixed on one floppy, for example writing the last 4 bin chunks and the first 3 des, and so on. Is this a problem? also, on the alternate virtual terminal, I saw debug messages referring to 'mumble.inf'. I did _not_ copy these onto the floppies, as they were not mentioned in INSTALL.TXT. The following is the layout of my floppies, where the stuff to the left of the colon is the label, and to the right are the chunk names (in their respective dist subdirectories): bin 0:bin.aa bin.ab bin.ac bin.ad bin.ae bin 1:bin.af bin.ag bin.ah bin.ai bin.aj bin 2:bin.ak bin.al bin.am bin.an bin.ao bin 3:bin.ap bin.aq bin.ar bin.as bin.at bin 4:bin.au bin.av bin.aw bin.ax bin.ay bin 5:bin.az bin.ba bin.bb bin.bc bin.bd bin 6:bin.be bin.bf bin.bg bin.bh bin.bi bin 7:bin.bj bin.bk bin.bl bin.bm bin.bn bin 8:bin.bo bin.bp bin.bq bin.br bin.bs bin 9:bin.bt bin.bu bin.bv bin.bw bin.bx bin 10:bin.by bin.bz bin.ca bin.cb bin.cc bin 11:bin.cd bin.ce bin.cf bin.cg bin.ch bin/des 12:bin.ci bin.cj bin.ck bin.cl des.aa des.ab krb.aa des/dict 13:krb.ab krb.ac sebones.aa ssecure.aa ssecure.ab dict.aa dict/doc 14:dict.ab dict.ac dict.ad dict.ae dict.af doc 15:doc.aa doc.ab doc.ac doc.ad doc.ae doc/info/manpages 16:doc.af doc.ag doc.ah info.aa info.ab manpages.aa manpages 17:manpages.ab manpages.ac manpages.ad manpages.ae manpages.af manpages 18:manpages.ag manpages.ah manpages.ai manpages.aj manpages.ak manpages/proflibs/src 19:manpages.al manpages.am proflibs.aa proflibs.ab proflibs.ac proflibs.ad src 20:ssys.aa ssys.ab ssys.ac ssys.ad ssys.ae src 21:ssys.af ssys.ag ssys.ah ssys.ai ssys.aj src 22:ssys.ak ssys.al ssys.am ssys.an ssys.ao src 23:ssys.ap ssys.aq ssys.ar ssys.as ssys.at ssys.au sbase.aa src 24:sbin.aa sbin.ab sbin.ac sinclude.aa So, anyone have an idea? thanks, Rob Urban, Munich, Germany
