Re: PPP troubles SOLVED!!!
Good to know FreeBSD can mount EXT2 and EXT3 partitions. Thanks for the information. :) The problem remains, however, since I highly favor ReiserFS for use with Linux. EXT2 has given me crash recovery issues and EXT3 does not perform as speedily as ReiserFS. ResierFS just takes whatever I throw at it, bats it aside, and keeps on moving without even a flinch. Kind of like the FreeBSD filesystem does. So... since I have a FAT32 partition I might as well put it to *some* use, since Lord knows I haven't much use for Windows anymore. lol Shannon __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

add the following line in your ppp.conf to get the proper DNS servers from your ISP. enable dns check out 'man ppp' to get more info about it.

Although using a Windows FAT32 partition is one way to share data between Linux and FBSD, if you're recompiling your FBSD kernel you might consider adding support for the Linux ext2 filesystem. You need a line like this in your kernel source: options EXT2FS You'll get a quaint warning about how you are about to contaminate your kernel with GPL code. Nevertheless, it will compile fine, and after installing the new kernel you'll be able to mount ext2 and ext3 partitions from FBSD. The advantages of not using FAT32 includes, among other things, allowing you to preserve permissions when moving files between FBSD and Linux. regards, Robert ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
