Fips 1.5c apparently does FAT32, and another free app, Presizer, also can shrink and grow FAT32 partitions. I don't know if the newest versions are on the CD or not, so be safe and download fips15c.tar.gz or presizer.exe from ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/tools . -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
