I got an assignment about picobsd, I guess I should use picobsd to connect a PC from one LAN segment to another LAn segment, something like that. Anyway, my problem now is how to install the pico bsd. I have download a file called picobsd-img.tar.gz. Is this what I need ? then how should I install it ? I try to decompress ther file using WinZip and /tar command from linux but the file size after decompression is 1.5 MB, of course it is can not copied into a floppy disk. I never use FreeBSD and Unix, and got zero knowledge on those thing. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! - Internet access at a great low price.

It is not a file to be put on a floppy; it is the _entire_ contents of a floppy, including partition tables and the filesystem. You need to use dd (on unix) or a tool like fdimage or rawrite (on DOS) to write the image to a floppy. For example, in BSD you would say: dd if=thefilename of=/dev/fd0. (You could add bs=18k to get optimal transfer speed for a 1.44M floppy.) Then just put the floppy in the drive and reboot to BSD...
