Hi Guys:

I discovered the disadvantage of putting an Ext2 File System on DVD+RW:
FreeBSD and NetBSD can't mount it, even though they're fine with Ext2 on a
Hard Disk partition.

Also alas, the Website of Robert Derman,  http://www.dermancomputer.com,
seems to have vanished, along with his useful free E-Book: "You Can Build Your
Own Computer".
