Message-ID: <1994Apr2.165115.25618@wubios.wustl.edu> Sender: david@wubios.wustl.edu (David J Camp) Organization: Division of Biostatistics, WUMS, St. Louis, MO Date: Sat, 2 Apr 1994 16:51:15 GMT Lines: 10 I just noticed the "fdisk -i" option in FreeBSD. I wonder if this option is sufficient to reformat an IDE hard drive without the commercial MessyDos utility I mentioned in an earlier note. Now if I can just figure out how to get FreeBSD to my friends without Dos. I suppose sneakernet is the order of the day. -David- # david@wubios.wustl.edu David J.
