I thought I would GIVE BACK to the BSD community and share my breakthrough: Here is how to mount your freebsd partition from Linux (in my case, it was a CD-R of the Debian-based bootable known as Knoppix available from www.knoppix.net). As long as your Linux environment can "see" the partition, such as /mnt/hda2 (for example), you first $ umount /mnt/hda2 $ mkdir /mnt/freebsdpartition $ mount -t ufs -o ufstype=44bsd /dev/hda2 /mnt/freebsdpartition The only thing I could not figure out was how to "su" my currently-running X session. That would allow me to use KDE and Konqueror to browse graphically to the directory /mnt/freebsdpartition ... anyone know how? Happy holidays everyone, and happy reading-of-the-manpages!! :0) -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder, Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA http://Www.Video2Video.Com
