Unixware? Heh. No comment. MSDOS has absolutely *no* problem with partitions up to 2 gigs. This has been beaten to death here with you over the last week or so. You need to find other "someones" to listen to. BSDI and FreeBSD have NO problems with partitions over 2 gigs. Let me repeat, BSDI AND FREEBSD HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH PARTITIONS OVER 2 GIGS. : OK,so if FreeBSD is immune to this alleged generic Unix problem,how about : user names more than 8 characters long? I haven't checked. I know they've fixed this on BSDI 2.0, but I'm not sure about the FreeBSD folk.
