Mike Smith 4879f4d58a Pass the '-n' flag to route(8) when setting up/tearing down the default
route.  If your nameserver config is wrong, this will otherwise hang for
the default resolver timeout (75 seconds), leading people to think that
the system has hung.

For a normal CDROM or network installation, all you need to copy onto an
actual floppy from this directory is the boot.flp image (for 1.44MB floppies).

NOTE: These images are NOT DOS files!  You cannot simply copy them to
a DOS floppy as regular files, you need to *image* copy them to the
floppy with fdimage.exe under DOS or `dd' under UNIX.

For example:

To create the boot floppy image from DOS, you'd do something like
this:

C> fdimage boot.flp a:

Assuming that you'd copied fdimage.exe and boot.flp into a directory
somewhere.  If you were doing this from the base of a CD distribution,
then the *exact* command would be:

E> tools\fdimage floppies\boot.flp a:


If you're creating the boot floppy from a UNIX machine, you may find
that:

        dd if=floppies/boot.flp of=/dev/rfd0

or

        dd if=floppies/boot.flp of=/dev/floppy

work well, depending on your hardware and operating system environment
(different versions of UNIX have totally different names for the
floppy drive - neat, huh? :-).
