Hello! The boot.flp in 3.0.0-19990112-SNAP/floppies is 2880K, which of course won't work. [I think this was acknowledged earlier by JKH, but has gone unfixed.] I'm wondering if an earlier boot.flp, say from the 1/6/99 SNAP, will work just the same? Thanks. --Rich To Unsubscribe: send mail

From 19990112? I had no such problems on three different systems. (System #3 had a lot of other unrelated problems, like a loose ethernet cable and mislabelled jumpers on drives, but none of them were 19990112-related.) :) On Thu, 21 Jan 1999, Daniel O'Connor wrote: : On 21-Jan-99 Richard J.

I'm wondering if an earlier boot.flp, say from the 1/6/99 SNAP, will work just the same? Thanks. Normally, a boot.flp of about the same time will work fine. You just need to go into the Options and change the release name string. The 1/6/99 boot.flp is broken. /boot/* can't be found. This
