Hello Brad, You should mail questions about FreeBSD to questions@freebsd.org - this list is to create better and to maintain current documentation for FreeBSD But I guess I can try and help you with your problem. Format the floppy disk using FAT file system under NT. Copy your source code to it. Boot into FreeBSD. Login in as root or su(1). Insert the floppy. Type as root "mount -t msdos /dev/fd0a /mnt" -- this will mount floppy under /mnt Now you can "cd /mnt" or "gcc /mnt/whatever.c" -- Yan Jan Koum jkb@best.com | "Turn up the lights; I don't want www.FreeBSD.org -- The Power to Serve | to go home in the dark."

I need to know how to copy my C source files, done under WIN NT's notepad, over to my FreeBSD box through the floppy drive, and how to copy my compiled programs back over to the floppy drive. Any help would be appreciated!
