-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- There is another issue, the fact that each type of partition has a label number. if the partition is labeled "linux" then it will not work. this is easy remedied by using either fbsd's or linux's fdisk and changing the partition label. -P ___________________________________________________________________________ Pat Lynch lynch@rush.net Systems Administrator Rush Networking ___________________________________________________________________________ On Fri, 23 Oct 1998, Al Stodolski wrote: > When an application is referring to OS types, and Linux is mentioned can I also assume FreeBSD as well? > > For example, Partition Magic wants to know what type of OS it will be making a partion for. One of the choices is Linux. Can I assume that this partition will be the same for FreeBSD as for Linux ? What do I need to know to install an "app" intended for Linux but will be targeted for FreeBSD.
