Hello ppl. I propose an additional entry in the handbook, section 2.4 (MS-DOS User's Questions and Answers) about Bootmanagers, that they can use. Point them to ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/osbsbeta.exe or osbs135.exe, while I prefer osbsbeta.exe. It's really nice and can boot at least Windows, FreeBSD and Linux here without ANY problems. You install it from DOS. Well, at least it could point to http://www.FreeBSD.org/tutorials/multi-os/ Furthermore, the FAQ entry "Can Windows 95 co-exist with FreeBSD" (install.html) should point to these pages, too. In fact, searching through the FAQ archives with search.cgi does give no reasonable answer for "boot AND manager" _in_ _the_ _FAQ_. (Of course it returns the multi-os tutorial.) I think the FAQ/Handbook should at least include a note to the tutorial. Maybe you also want to change "Can Windows 95 co-exist with FreeBSD" to "Can other operating systems (inclucing Windows...) co-exist..." or something like "how can I install a boot-manager"? (I often use ALT-F in Netscape or / in Lynx to search for keywords in big html-files, and so I could find a reasonable entry.) I would do patches myself, but my English is kinda bad, thus someone else should add them. Alex -- I doubt, therefore I might be.
