FreeBSD won't do anything you haven't started yourself. You have to read carefully. First the drive shouldn't be partitioned with DOS, for the parts you want to use FreeBSD on. Delete the partition you want FreeBSD on. Second, answer "leave untouched" when prompted if you want Boot manager to be your boot loader. Then FreeBSD will not touch anything of your exesting file system. If you boot with lilo today, you can very well stick to that. -- __o regards, Gunnar ---_ \<,_ email: flygt@sr.se ---- (_)/ (_) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
