hrm. that's an interesting one. I do use System Commander, but to my
knowledge I have not set that option. (though it may be on by default)
would this only affect other unix partitions? Because it only affects
FreeBSD, none of the DOS/Win OS's. That's what is confusing the heck out of
me...
Anyone? This one is bugging me to no avail...
Thanks,
Mark
