I could do that. I'll try it. Thanks. > If you're not using linux with it, why have an ext2fs partition > anyway??? It's a funny story really. We moved all our servers at work from Linux to FreeBSD. Cool. We like FreeBSD. So I moved my home machine to FreeBSD. Cool. I like FreeBSD. Then I upgraded to 4.3 and had wierdness using keyboard shortcuts in gnome. Then Mandrake 8 came out, and I thought... well, maybe stick to Linux for the desktop, FreeBSD on the laptop and FreeBSD on the servers. 2 months of Linux life (complete with borked RPM upgrades, VM subsystem dieing at just the wrong times, and general Linux type lifestyle), I had enough. So I went back to FreeBSD. I figured I'd seen something about ext2 support, so I wouldn't bother moving all the ogg stuff to a backup machine. 6 gig takes a while to copy over a wireless network. -- Wayne Pascoe Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. - Yeats To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
