However, when I hit 'w', I get the following warning: "... If you're adding a disk, you should NOT write from this screen..." Which is correct? And if the warning is to be heeded, should I just quit? Thanks for any assistance. ss To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
