Can they be indexed/numbered/whatever someway so that when we know which one we are using and Jordon knows which one we are commenting on? Actually, I found this version of fdisk and disklabel more confusing than the old ones. Maybe this is simply because there is not yet a doc about it to read before using. This was especially problematic in that I do not know what the various codes mean in disklabel. For instance, when I ask it to mount an existing dos partition there is no feedback about what the meaning of the label in the newfs collumn. This is very unnerving to someone who does not have a working tape drive right now. :-) Just to throw a monkey into the works... I know everyone wanted to cut a 2.0.5 cd last month ... but ... 3.1.2 is due from XFree86 in a couple of weeks with lots of new FreeBSD support expected therein, like *my* video card. :) -- Jan Isley jan@bagend.atl.ga.us
