Thanks for the help......that is one less reason for me to install RedHat and one more to install FreeBSD. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of David Xu Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2001 10:16 PM To: Ben Compton Cc: freebsd Subject: Re: Vfat Question Hello Ben, Wednesday, March 07, 2001, 11:00:00 AM, you wrote: BC> Quick question for you folks....Do you know when/if VFat support will be BC> included in the kernel?
