FreeBSD can't handle FAT32. So when you are installing Windows 95, if it asks you if you'd like special support for partitions over 2 gigs (fat32) choose NO. It should handle normal windows 95 partitions just fine though. I believe it shows long filenames with their 8.3 counterparts (filena~1.ext) but I may be wrong. This sounds like a question for -questions ;) On Mon, 20 Oct 1997, Chad R.
