FreeBSD Inc.
Hey, I'm sick of Winblows from Microspastic, and FreeBSD looks
like the best alternative, I just have a few questions before
I go ahead with it. My situation is that I have a 4.3Gig HDD
split into two 2.15Gig partitions, the second partition has
nothing on it as yet but is formatted to FAT16, the first
partition is also FAT16 and has Windows 98 installed, I need
to leave Windows on there for the rest of the family. My
first question is, if I install FreeBSD on the second
partition of my hard drive, there will be alot of space let
over, can I still access/use this spare space with Windows/DOS
or will I be only able to access this patition with FreeBSD?
Also, can I run any UNIX/Linux application on FreeBSD? What
is X Windows? If I hate Windows will I hate X Windows?? Is
there anywhere to download FreeBSD in a zip file or something
like that, it just seems a pain in the ass to have to d/l all
those files seperatly and in all the different directories,
how big is it in total anyway? Any answers would be most
appreciated as I cant go ahead with the installation without
the answers...
Yours Faithfully
Stephen Swincer
