Message-ID: Organization: Reptilian Research, Toronto, Canada Distribution: reptiles Date: Mon, 26 Dec 1994 20:25:00 GMT Sender: hackers-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk so far i've deduced that i should scoop down new boot floppies and not use the ones on the January 1994 8^) CD. also, i'm told that bad144 tracking _might_ work for my ESDI drives if i use the entire drive. ok, i think i'm ready to roll. if anyone has any additional things i should do please let me know, i'm looking at starting the install late tonight (if i don't come home _too_ drunk) or tomorrow (unless i decide to go out and get drunk). if all goes well, i'll be installing 2.0 on a pair of spare ESDI 330 Meg drives on a proxy machine. i'll then move the user files from my existing 1.1.5.1 machine and swap the hard drives. i'd appreciate any advice. -- [ Jim Mercer jim@reptiles.org +1 416 506-0654 ] [ Reptilian Research -- Longer Life through Colder Blood ] [ Never, ever forget to replace the toiletseat after use!!!
