David E. Cross scribbled this message on May 3: > Is it possible to format and use the 2MB format disks (like win95 is > distributed on) in FreeBSD? FreeBSD comes with support that is close to it... it supports the 1.72meg floppy standard... just fdformat /dev/fdx.1720 and there you go... now newfs/mkdosfs it... and you have your disk... it worked great for me back when I installed 1.1.5.1... :) (and in some ways I actually like that old install over the new one, wierd...) -- John-Mark Cu Networking Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
