Colin,

that's what I would like to do, but I'm only getting 0 byte (call them
fakes?) files called MKFS..sea ecc. When I do a File Search (under OS 7.6.1
on the IIci) I'm getting nothing (it searched for an hour without any
result). There is nothing to expand! There is one folder in the top (root?)
level without name. Double clicking I open something like an exact "mirror"
of what I see in the topmost level. Starting from what I know from the Mac,
I'd say that's an alias or something that like, but I don't have any idea,
where it brings and where to go. 

It's like I should have already NetBSD installed to be able to install it
from this CD. But for sure, I'm doing something very stupid . . .

Thanks a lot for your help,

Ulrich
