Re: Two Preinstall Questions

2003-11-11 Thread Siegbert Baude
Hi Ralph,

I have two questions before I plunge in and make my first FreeBSD install.
Normally I keep a back up copy of all my data in a ReiserFS formated partion
on my hard drive. When I do a Linux Distribution install I will reformat the
non back up partions and then restore my data by copying from the backup
partion. Will I be able to do this with my FreeBSD install? Will FreeBSD be
able to mount and read write data from this Linux Reiserfs formated partion?
FreeBSD can read an write (albeit the latter is marked experimental) 
from an ext2fs. Reiserfs is not supported at the moment.
So you would have to change the type of your backup partition.


My second question is hardware related. Is the Logitech 4000 Pro USB Web
camera supported in FreeBSD?
Sorry, I can't help you with this one.

Ciao
Siegbert

The hardware notes contains the documenation about what are officaly
supported. You can find a link to them on the main page.
