Its easiest *not* to mount the floppies. Use the mtools package and simply "mdir" and "mcopy" as needed. Otherwise a line in /etc/fstab something like this might get you started: /dev/fd0.1440 /dosa msdos rw,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd1.1440 /dosb msdos rw,noauto 0 0 >2: I have downloaded netscape 3.0 for bsd, but I can't seem to get > anywhere with the downloaded file...what do I need to do to get at the > compressed files...

The thing I think you were missing was the 'z' in the options to do the gzip thing inside tar. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@tomcat1.tbe.com (wk), dkelly@hiwaay.net (hm) ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
