I ran into the 1st half of your problem. To resolved it when booting from CD I added a pkgpath.cfg to the floppy to tell it where the packages are. For me the file contains:
/dev/fd0:msdos,/dev/hda:iso9660 After adding that, the floppy drive was in the list back up destinations. It's in the install instructions I just didn't realize it was needed for backup logic. - Todd > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Tony > Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2001 9:24 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Leaf-user] FYI on saving CD configs to floppy > > > Bravo on the new CD release! > > I love this new release, it was quite easy to setup.
