Re: [Freedos-user] overflooded by old emails

[ccoky]

Close, I think it was a configuration error on my part.  I changed e-mail
address to one on my own server and the messages burped from my new one. 
Sorry for the error.

[Freedos-user] NFS Networking Mini HOWTO Question

[ccoky]

I found the NFS Networking Mini HOWTO on the fd-doc.sourceforge.net 
page.  The Mini HOWTO makes references to the xfs80286  xfs8088 
directories.  Are these directories in the FreeDOS distribution?  I read 
over it a couple of times, and could not find a explanation of where I 
might expect to find those directories.

Thanks!
