From /sys/i386/conf/LINT options MSDOSFS #MS DOS File System options NTFS #NT File System options EXT2FS I think, but am not sure that msdosfs supports fat16 and fat32. The LINT file is a good resource for this info. > (2) Is FreeBSD more like Unix or Linux? FreeBSD comes directly from 4.4 BSD Unix. Linux does not have this genealogy. Generally speaking many folks consider FreeBSD to be closer to Unix. I say FreeBSD _is_ unix (lower case u) but be careful with that pesky trademark issue that TOG put on Unix (upper case U). The distinction is one of terminology.
