The PAO boot floppies are for installing a FreeBSD system with PCMCIA support from scratch (or as a full upgrade). Alternatively, you can download the PAO tarball and add PAO to an existing install. It unpacks into a source directory and has patches for the system kernel. You need to have the sources to the kernel available and you need to rebuild the kernel as well as the PAO utilities. The instructions in the PAO/release dir are very straightforward. Be sure to get the PAO release for your version of FreeBSD. There is a version for 2.2.7 on the ftp site still, I believe. 2.2.8 is on the web page. 3.0 is unnecessary (?). Cheers, -Oly "Eric I. Arnoth" wrote: > I'm a bit confused by the PAO website.
