I agree -- it may be a Microsoft thing, but then again we've already sold our souls to Intel (who isn't much better tha MS IMHO).. I dual boot between NT and FreeBSD on my two machines at home, and the same is true for about 15 machines where I work.. I think NTFS support in FreeBSD would be super -- at least the ability to mount NTFS partitions so we can move data between the two file systems (FFS and NTFS) just my 2 cents, -Mark ------------------------------------------- | Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com | | C-Soft www.quickweb.com | ------------------------------------------- "To iterate is human, to recurse divine." - L.
