As far as I know, you can mount a file system pretty much where you want. /usr/dos looks good to me. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Also, it used to be that people advised against mounting large DOS partitions. I don't know if that is still true, but perhaps you should approach with caution. You might want to look at ports/emulators/mtools anyway. Good luck. Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
