I am planning to put up Dos 6.22 first, then FreeBSD 2.0.5 (now 2.1 soon) and then finally upgrading DOS to Win95. Is this OK or does FreeBSD need to go in first? And when do I install the boot manager (booteasy ?). #2 - I'm getting a 1.2 Gig drive & plan on spliting up as 700MB for DOS & 500 MB for FreeBSD - is this OK? #3 - Here is the hardware I'm getting - does anyone see anything wrong? a GBT 486DX4-120 MHz PCI motherboard 16 MB ram 1.275 Conner EIDE drive PCI High-Speed EIDE interface PCI Cirrus Logic 5434 64-bit 1MB video card Soundblaster Pro with 2X speed CDROM TIA cheers gary Gary Stanny Lynn-Arthur Associates, Inc. +1 313 995 5590 stanny@tdf_ltd.laa.com Operations Support Systems +1 313 995 5989 (fax) 2350 Green Road Suite 160 Ann Arbor, MI, 48105 USA
