Look in oak.oakland.edu:/simtel/msdos/bootutil for a whole slew of this kind of utility. (A note of caution: whichever one of the ultilities it was that we used, you should only install it on the 1st drive - installing it on the 2nd (NetBSD) drive trashed everything). >P.S: I was just wondering where the `Extract' and `Set_tmp_dir' used >during the installation process come from: I did not find them in >/bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin or / (the default path components...) >Thanks a lot in advance. Look in /.instutils and /.commonutils. Laine
