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:

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