Those run less then $90 lately, the disk costs around $10 or so, but it's writeable and so on... That would eliminate all read-only problems, and FreeBSD can run beautifully on 120M. Copying those disks is also not a problem, obviously. I am not sure about support of those drives, though, since i've never had one myself. -- yu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
