Hi,
This is my little problem that I can't seem to figure it out. Hope =
somebody helps point out what=20
it is that I am doing wrong. ( I am a complete UNIX newbie )
I used Partition Magic to create a FAT32 partition, then FTP'd the whole =
NetBSD 1.5.1 onto a=20
c:/i386/binary/sets which is a NTFS (I don't know if it's NTFS4 or =
NTFS5) I have a Win2000 SP2
When I booted off a 2 Floppy system, converted the FAT32 partition to =
the default used by NetBSD
and now when I am trying to access the distribution sets on the original =
C: I am stuck.
The rest of the install process goes off fine.
Is there any way I can access those files ? Or I have to format my hard =
drive and start over again ?
( I have lots of MP3's so I am hesitating to take this step )
Thanks
