However, I have over 1GB in my OS/2 HPFS partitions that I would like to access. After searching the archives, I see that there is periodically some banter about this, but the issue has not been raised recently. Is there anyway to do this, including using some Linux program (though I'd prefer real FreeBSD)? I would prefer to use FreeBSD than Linux, but this issue is important enough that I might have to switch. There have been a substantial number of OS/2 users I've known who either have switched to Linux or run both; I think it would be valuable to the FreeBSD effort if it were also an option for these people. I will gladly summarize to the list any private email that is valuable. Thank you. Clark Gaylord Blacksburg, VA cgaylord@vt.edu
