To mount my dos partition, I type: mount_msdos /dev/wd0s1 /dos On my FreeBSD filesystem, I have a directory named "dos". When I issue this mount command, the entire directory tree from my dos partition appears in that directory. Then I can use it just like it were part of my FreeBSD filesystem. To copy files from it, use cp. for example: cp /dos/download/lynz.tar /usr/ports/distfiles/lynx2-3-7.tar.Z since dos has no file permission system, be sure to use chmod 600 filename on any files you copy from your dos partition. Ken p.s. In the future, please post your questions to only ONE list.
