As it happens, FreeBSD doesn't automatically re-label and re-format every DOS disk you put into it, although some people would argue that's the only sensible thing to do with them 8-) Seriously, there've been a couple of postings recently on how to set up a disk dedicated to FreeBSD, which should still be in your news spool. > BTW, in FREEBSD, do I need to divide up the disk into 2 2Gb partitions ? >I assume so. No, it can use the whole disk as a single partition, should you so wish. James -- Segmentation fault (core dumped): cannot find file '.signature'
