you can just plug it into the bsd box, it wont mount automatically. you can create temporary mountpoints, say maybe: /media/usr /media/var /media/root and mount them on those. copy what you need out, and the unmount them when youre ready. hth, -- Jonathan Horne http://dfwlpiki.dfwlp.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
