INSTALL.TXT (and INSTALL.HTM) say: FIPS does NOT currently work with FAT32 or VFAT style partitions as used by newer versions of Windows 95. A recent poster to -doc claims that FIPS has worked with such partitions for years. I'm quite sure I've seen versions on a couple of Linux CDs work on them. And I found a recent report (just an off-hand comment) of it working on FreeBSD in some FreeBSD forum just now. ================ Fix: In both files, change "FAT32 or VFAT" to "NTFS" and remove " 95". They are in "/usr/src/release/text/i386/". How-To-Repeat: I don't know; no M$ Windows here. ================
