It can mount and access file systems with all the other formats you describe but it would be best if it were installed on it's own UFS partition. +------------------ | (2) Is FreeBSD more like Unix or Linux? +------------------ FreeBSD and Linux are to Unix as potato chips and pork rinds are to snack foods. :-) chris -- Chris Fedde 303 773 9134 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
