Be *very* careful when doing this, in either direction. If linux tries to mount a bsd partition as ext2fs (which can happen by recompiling the linux kernel and changing the way it counts partitions within the bsd partition), it will trash the bsd partition table. *if* you know where your slices were, you can reset them with the installation program (and I assume fdisk) and have them back. In the other direction (bsd reading ext2), I don't know what the current status is, but 3.1 would randomly write garbage into files at times. rick -- Prof. Richard E.
