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... -- +============================================================================+ ! Jens Andersen - jens@tfs.com ! ! Phone: +47 2289 8298 - Home: +47 6486 7379 ! !
