I saw the bit where the install process no longer uses the DOSFS mechanism. I use DOSFS all the time, because I run both FreeBSD and Win95 on the same machine, and I trust FreeBSD's net stuff a whole lot more than whatever stack Windows is using. I wish DOSFS were in better shape, because occasionally when I get too carried away at moving stuff around on the DOS partition while I'm still running the UNIX side of the house, I wind up punching big holes in my file system. It's always puzzled me why DOSFS wasn't a higher-priority item. Me, I couldn't live without it. Do people really avoid Windows that strenuously? I personally enjoy playing the various games available, I confess it, but I also find that WordPro (in my case) gives a lot more value for money than anything I can find in the UNIX world. No way am I giving up UNIX and if WordPro for UNIX ever came around I'd snap it up. But as it is, I use DOSFS, I need DOSFS, and I wish it were in better shape. When I become either sufficiently brave or sufficiently unemployed I'll have to take a look at it. Mike O'Brien
