I disabled the Conner in the PC-BIOS (Award), so that the Syqest became the only 'hard' drive. Now I have these problems: 1) During unpacking the base10.* distribution I got LOTS of 'Text file busy' messages. I know that this is correct, if you try to overwrite a binary which is just executing, but it happened for programs whoch weren't running. I used the following command for unpacking and installing: cat /usr/installdir/base10.* | gunzip | tar xvf - 2) I tried to mount my CD-ROM drive with the command: mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0d /cdrom I goot the message: Read-Only-Filesystem, but nothing was mounted. 3) I tried to access my tape drive: tar tvf /dev/rst0. Result: DMA beyond end of ISA. Installing (via floppies) went ok on the Syqest drive. I installed the kernel, the system booted, all with no problem. All my hardware works without any problems under FreeBSD 1.1.5.1, MSDOG (Arg!) and ESIX 4.0.4.1 (SYSVR4). Have I overlooked something? BTW, where is the FORTRAN which was promised in the INSTALL file? Regards...Robert
