There's a little program called vmount for NeXTStep/OpenStep (they're BSD, too) so it wouldn't be a big job to port it to FreeBSD. With it you can mount any filesystem that a Linux can do( even NTFS). Its source code is available and it requires the include and the fs subtree of a 2.x Linux kernel to compile. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sebestyen Zoltan It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up. szoli@caesar.elte.hu But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
