Speaking of fixit media, is there still a fixit CD image ?  My new
laptop has (amongst it's other minor problems) a USB floppy, which
works to boot/install from, but sysinstall doesn't see it as a floppy
for use with the fixit floppy (it appears as da0).

Now, I do have a bootable cdrom drive, so a bootable fixit CD with an
image on it would be very useful to me - is there one (to purchase
or an image), which sysinstall can use as the "live" image ?

Can I just burn a CD with boot.flp as the boot image and the
filesystem from my existing machine and expect it to work ?

Thanks,
P.
