X-Mailer: IBM-WebExplorer-DLL Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have a 1.2GB hard disk and cannot install the slackware version that is available on Internet. If I put my 170MB hard drive as the second drive I can install Linux on it and then upgrade to be able to see my first drive which has Dos 6.2 and 3 versions of OS/2. I want to add a second hard disk and it would then be impossible to have have Linux because the current installation diskette don't provide any support for my system. I can't change the controller on my PC which is on the motherboard and I wouln't even if I could since it works very well with OS/2 and DOS and the extra expense would be stupid as it would not improve my PC's performance to justify the said expense. My question: Does FreeBSD has the same restriction and what is the advantage or disadvantage of FreeBSD versus Slackware. Michel Catudal bbcat@netonecom.net
