O_o You guys sure waste a lot of time on trolls. Too bad Danial didn't post any official title, he's starting to remind me of the Jerry Taylor incident. It's pretty clear this guy is too ignorant to have 23 years of life experience, let alone that much time using unixes. I vote for the ban :)

I would suggest that FAT come out saying DOS/Win9x and NTFS say WinNT +. My reason for that is based on the fact that the old version of That sounds reasonable enough; everyone agree? Oh and yea, 3.x, 9x and ME all boot DOS underneath ME Kind of just pretended it wasn't there. - BC

Hi, I've been reading the dragonfly digest and noticed the conversations about bug tracking. I realize it was in the kernel list (I'm not subscribed to it, don't really wish to be). If you don't find what you're looking for - I'll code one in php if you'd like. - BC
