Please help! Florin, Much better to use mtools. As root with your Internet connection running: # cd /usr/ports/emulators/mtools # make install clean After install: # man mtools Will get you operation instructions. A mounted MSDOS floppy that developes a "disk error" can cause a perfectly healthy FreeBSD system to crash, with mtools this possible crash will not happen :-) Regards, Stephen Hilton nospam@hiltonbsd.com
