Getting back with version information 4.2.1 version 11 revision 0 release 6600 First, use a new floppy which should already be formatted for DOS. If not then use your Windows whatever computer to format it - for simplicity's sake. Take the disk, insert into floppy drive and type: mount /dev/fd0 You should see the green light on the drive light up. Check your fstab file by typing: cat /etc/fstab You should see a line in there that looks something like: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto .... a bunch of other opitions If it shows auto in the third column it means the system will atomatically detect what file system (dos, linux, etc..) the floppy was formatted for and mount that file system. The column that reads /mnt/floppy is equivalent of typing a: in dos. If the mounting step above worked then you would go to the floppy by typing: cd /mnt/floppy To copy files to the floppy you do: cp /var/log/XFree86.0.log /mnt/floppy/XFree86.0.log When you are finished copying the files you should unmount the drive: umount /mnt/floppy Then send your attachment release date 3 sep 2002 build OS FreeBSD 5.0-RC i386 ELF I was being nice. to send you the log file I need to a) know how to access a 3.5 b) copy the file to it c) get the info back off it onto a win 2000 system. and my disk, I can format but cant use, dont have a heXed clue were to copy to if no disk exist and the disk once formated to use freebsd wont work on a windows 95,98,me.2000, or any other os were I can access the Internet. which is why I asked for any help at all. I really didna mean to sound disrespectful really. I just dont have a clue what else to try. and as a windows system trouble shooter I feel like a complete Idiot dealing with a whole new os. --- Cynthia Grossen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You have to send us the log file if you want > accurate help.
