He said it has vfat on it, so I told him to use vmount and told him what it was/how it worked. BUT, I wanted to know if there were any concerns, because he says he can't "see" the partition. Can you point me to docs explaining FreeBSD's handling of extended partition naming etc... It would help me in understanding what he is having dificulty with. BTW, this is a pretty awesome site, 200MHz PPro, 128 Megs RAM, probably close to twelve gigs of HD. Knowing this guy there's probably a couple Bigfoots in there. He also says there's a problem with his PS2 mouse. Any of those things incompatible? Shawn
