Unfortunately, no. This is because FAT doesn't support users and groups (or permissions for that matter) so the mount has to have everything owned by one user/group. Thus it won't work as a /home partition because each /home/<user> directory should be owned by the user. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
