Hawkins" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I finally saved my old linux /home & /etc and wiped both partitions. It seems that i'm getting binary characters inserted into my ext2fs; i suppose it doesn't write quite correctly. In addition to the source problems, mail messages get oddly joined wiht junk in the middle. SO I gave FreeBSD a 4G partition and installed. I guess file exchange will be through tar's on the dos partition :( I thought mount_union would do it, but it seems to warn that it *will* cause panics, so putting the linux /home behind /home doesn't seem a good idea :) rick -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
