4.1. Example Configuration files

The example configuration files in this book are available electronically via http from this website www.openna.com/books/floppy.tgz. In either case, be it from CDROM or if you have downloaded from the website extract the files from the archive by typing:

    
                   [root@deep ]/tmp#tar xzpf floppy.tgz
                  

this is assuming you have stored the floppy.tgz in a directory called tmp/ .
