Schwertfeger" To: questions Subject: Upgrading from Linux, 2 Q's Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Nothing major, I use FreeBSD at work, so I'm already familiar with most of what I need to know. 1) Can FreeBSD ppp interoperate with Win95 ppp? I know that MS did some nonstandard things that cause problems (regarding negotiating the DNS, I believe, not a bad thing if done in a backwards compatible way), and that only the 2.2.X branch of Linux's ppp will work. Oh, this is for dialing into a FreeBSD machine on the internet, not the other way around, which would be a sick and disgusting concept anyway :-) 2) Can FreeBSD work on a drive set up using LBA? The motherboard/bios would be handling the translation. Not a critical issue, but I want to set up 2 255M partitions, and that plus root won't fit below 1024 without LBA. I wouldn't expect there to be a problem, except possibly reading the partition table. Thanks for any info.
