I have a DOS based system with lots of hard drive space. However, I only want to reserve 100 MB for Free BSD. I don't understand whether I have to use the FIPS command that comes on the CD rom, or if I need to configure a drive using the FDISK command. Can you help me to understand how I can do a configuration using the install system that comes with this disk? It seems to me as though using the installation command makes the system reserve all its' free space for FreeBSD, and like I said, I only want to use about 100 MB. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Frank Weinstein Roseville Ca GRWL63A@Prodigy.com
