Re: How do you mount a Win98 drive under OpenBSD

["Joe Blow" <pagemaster41_(_at_)_hotmail_(_dot_)_com>]

Like you said I have limited time too and I don't need people telling me to 
go read 80 billion things I just need the answer whether I understand it or 
not, it is up to me whether or not I just keep using it or read the man 
pages and figure out what it is doing.  I do use and understand most things 
under openbsd I learned a lot from the man pages but the one time I couldn't 
figure it out from the man pages pricks like you won't help, flame(which is 
even more spam), and just bitch about me being an idiot when if you had 
helped me the first time I only would have had to post once in fact if your 
gonna flame do it privately so you don't clog the list then.
