Two questions: 1) Are there any plans to get the installer utilities out into the release distribution? The latest floppies allow for disklabeling without installing, which is really cool -- now if you could only partition slices one at a time from the "Label" menu... 2) Is there a program like scsiinfo on SunOS 4.1.x that will create a disklabel for a scsi drive? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Jim Hranicky, Systems Administrator | | Computer & Information Sciences & Engineering Department, Univ of Florida | | E314E CSE Building jfh@cis.ufl.edu Phone (904) 392-1057 | | http://www.cis.ufl.edu/~jfh | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
