You can try NTFS and see if it works for you. The > safe bet would be to use FAT or FAT32. > I installed Win2K on FAT32 exactly so I could access it in Linux and FreeBSD. My email, for example, is stored on Win2k's C: drive. My mail agent is VM in emacs, which stores messages in a platform- independent format. It is equally easy to access my email from whichever OS is booted: Windows, Linux, or (when I solve my irq problem) FreeBSD. Since I'm the only one that uses my machine and it's behind a separate firewall, I don't need the protection NTFS offers. -Ken To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
