You cannot mount a SCO filesys floppy on FreeBSD. However IIRC the install disks for custom is in tar format, so you can read that on freebsd like: tar xvf /dev/rfd0 . Now SCO's tar has the ability to compress individual files in a tar archive, so you will have to uncompress each of them by hand if thats the case. Then you are left with what should be processed by "custom" which we dont have, but if its not a too complex application you should be able to figure out what to do. The easiest way though is to install it on a SCO system and tar up the installed package and move that to FreeBSD.... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Søren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team Even more code to hack -- will it ever end? ..
