You can find a version of /usr/src/sys/sys/vnode.h at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/branches/3.0-stable/src/sys/sys/vnode.h although the is no telling what other files are missing. Also this file is from 3.0-STABLE, which is several months newer than 3.1, so it might not work either. > And ohh yes, one other thing. I've got an internal, IDE Iomega Zip > drive.

I'm happy just to keep them as DOS it works quite well, and means I can use them at Uni.
