"mount" is actually a suite of programs, of which "mount_cd9660" is one. When you run mount on a CD it /shoud/ auto detect the file system and use the correct mount program. But it is often wise not to rely on auto-detection features. > Many thanks in advance and kind regards, > > KS > > I don't think I would recommend FreeSBIE to learn FreeBSD. FreeSBIE is somewhat specialized in it's implementation and doesn't necissarilly act the same as a base FreeBSD system does. If you have the hardware download FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE and build a system to experiment with. On the other hand, if you don't have extra hardware, FreeSBIE is great. -- -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers-- -- FreeSBIE mailing list (http://www.freesbie.org)
