What's the deal? loadfd is a script defined in .profile in the original boot floppy installation, which is somehow not used when the bin01 distribution is installed. I keep a copy of orignal .profile by renaming it bak.profile : : Or, another solution, is there any way to mount a dos-formatted : floppy as a filesystem (a la 'mount /pcfs' in SunOS)??? : I do not like it. It makes OS more complex to understand. It is already being done for CDROM, but it is meant for SCSI driver only .. If only we have mtools style for CDROM. It will be easier for me to understand and modify. -- Othman bin Ahmad, School of EEE, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 2263.
