Hi,

a collegue wants to install FreeBSD 2.2.2 on his new PC. It has been
setup by the manufacturer to use the whole disk as a Win95/DOS FAT
32 filesystem. So, he should run FIPS, right? But, the FIPS version
on the 2.2.2 CD seems only to handle FAT16 filesystems. Is the a
FIPS32 somwhere "in the world"? Or, does he have to repartition the
disk and create a FAT16 Primary DOS partition?

Will FreeBSD be able to mount FAT32 filesystems? I know it handles
FAT16s, but...

Comments, directions appreciated...
