Actually, I just thought of something. OS X natively supports both HFS+ and UFS. If you want to repartition your drive now, you could use HFS+ for one partition, and then make a smaller, blank UFS partition. You could still see the UFS partition in OS X, and even use it for files you wanted. Later on, you could install FreeBSD on it. It would be great to have OS X and FreeBSD on the same machine - they could natively access each other's partitions. Maybe they could even share a /home :) Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ppc" in the body of the message
