Yes? > They are nice, well-intentioned, and more. Oops, I didn't mean to imply non-niceness in my facetiousness. prompt# renice -99999999999999 `cat /var/run/cdcreators.pid` :) > You will find a file called filename.txt in the root directory of each CD-ROM. > Annelise > -- > Annelise Anderson > Author of: FreeBSD: An Open-Source Operating System for Your PC > Available from: BSDmall.com and amazon.com > Book Website: http://www.bittreepress.com/FreeBSD/introbook/ Might I make a suggestion (for dissemination among the cd-creating body)? [1] Call the file something less Micro$ofty and more like "contents.txt" or better yet, [2] Call the file "contents.zip" with a symlinked file called "contents.gz" actually wait these are two different compression alggies. Oh and [3] maybe a simple sh script could be installed to simply the "find" command; such a script would do the equivalent of an "ls -alR | grep -i" command and would return the full path. :) PS. What's the best way to give usability feedback and enhancement requests geared toward /stand/sysinstall and the bootable floppies?? -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
