If you're mounting on an already-setup unix box, try using the "lndir" command to make an image in your ftp server. Then symlink /dists/bin to /bin and whatnot. Give your filesystem a workout but you'll get a functioning ftp site. ** CD BURNERS: Please build the next CD so that it is directly ftp-moutable so we can get the CD, mount it on a machine with a CD, and install to a machine without a CDROM. ** Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
