How about in DOS format? On the 2.2.5 (so perhaps also 2.2.6) Walnut Creek CD-ROM, there's another boot manager called osbm135.exe, or something similar, which is a self-extracting DOS archive. I think it's on the first disk under /tools or /utils. There is also a more recent beta version, osbmbeta.exe. I haven't used either myself, although I might try them soon. Has anyone used it? How does it compare to BootEasy? If you want to use Boot Easy itself, that's also on the first CD under either /tools or /utils. In either case, read the boot manager's documentation first before using it. > If I load it up, can I then reinstall Linux and FreeBSD and have all > live happily together? I think you might have to install Windows first, then whatever else you are putting in and _then_ the boot manager. So if you want to use Boot Easy then install FreeBSD last. If you want to use osbm135 then (presumably) install all the operating systems first. Ben.
