If so, could you tell me where > to look on my system (and/or where to get it off the net). NetBSD has dosfs compiled into the kernel. So, you can, for example, type: # mkdir /a (insert dos-formated HD loppy in drive a: (fd0)) # mount -t msdos /dev/fd0a /a After that, you can "cd /a", "ls /a", cp /a/* ., Anyway, you have to do that as root. Hope this helps, Jesus. jgb@inf.uc3m.es jgb@tornasol.uc3m.es
