Message-ID: <CIMsrH.331@iat.holonet.net> Organization: HoloNet National Internet Access System: 510-704-1058/modem Date: Sun, 26 Dec 1993 07:28:27 GMT Lines: 21 I just set up a laptop with DOS5, Linux 0.99.12 and NetBSD 0.8 . I have it so I can boot whatever OS I want from the initial prompt. Now the problem is, how can I get additional software such as Mtools onto the system? I though I could simply use load_fd, but it seems to have vanished. What can I say, I'm new to BSD and I want to learn how to use BSD systems. Also, where can I get a copy of BASH for NetBSD 0.8, I gather from the faq that it is available in one of the other releases, and it's what I'm used to using under Linux. Of course then I'll be back to the problem of getting it on my system. Yes, I realize that this is probably incredibly easy and obvious, but I'm lost. Zane in Aloha, Ore -- Zane H.
