Two choices. 1. Upgrade to the newly released 2.2.7, which has FAT32 support, which includes long filenames. 2.

I found myself in a desert called Cyberland. It was hot, my canteen had sprung a leak and I was thirsty. Out of the abyss walked a cow, Elsie. I asked if she had anything to drink.

Diet Coke.'" -- Maureen, _Rent_ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
