See LINT. Then, make vn devices, such as #cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV vn0; To mount, #vnconfig /dev/vn0 image.iso; #mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/vn0 /cdrom To unmount, #umount /cdrom #vnconfig -u /dev/vn0 Hiro To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
