Hello, I am about to embark on the experience of installing FreeBSD from the four disc CDROM set v. 2.2.5. Before doing this I will be installing a 4.3GB hard drive (EIDE) which will accompany my older 1.6GB EIDE hd. My initial thoughts are that I will install the FreeBSD on the smaller drive and load win95 and various associated windows applications on the larger drive. I am not interested in preserving any of the data or programs on the smaller drive and would prefer to start with two completely clean drives. I am looking for any suggestions/recommendations that anyone may offer to make this transition as painless and efficient as possible. e.g. Some questions that come to mind are which OS should I install first? When should I erase everything on the smaller disk? (I prefer not to have an older windows/dos version detected. I want to start with two completely clean hard drives.) Another question that I wonder about are what potential snags or pitfalls can I encounter of which I might not be presently cognitive? Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank you for your time. Art mattox@csd.uwm.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
