Before I do that, I would like to make sure (as far as possible) that my critical applications will continue to work, one way or the other. It seems that the Olympus Camedia (C-1) digital camera does have some quirks that require a cludge for the kernel, so it can be mounted as a block dev for my Linux kernel version, although I hear that newer kernels do support that quirk out of the box. I was wondering, whether anyone here is using such a camera under freeBSD, and can tell me whether it can be mounted under 5.3 without such a hack. Thanks in advance, Peer
