I'd like to replace Windows with Free BSD (I just purched the CD distribution). I don't care about keeping DOS either, but maybe this is necessary. I'm not certain from the documentation whether I need to remove Windows first (the disk is not partitioned), or whether perhaps installing FreeBSD would remove Windows. If I need to remove Windows, can you tell me how? Also, does DOS need to stay--and if not, how do I uninstall DOS? I'm using an external Backpack CD drive connected to the parallel port that I plan to use for the CD installation. Do you anticipate any problems with this? Thank you for your help. I'm very excited to get this installed. Bill Renneker bill@itctel.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
