My Computer is a 686/P150 48mg RAM Dual operating system(s): Microsoft Windows 95 on the 2gig HD connected to the primary controller in a FAT Partition. IBMs Operating System 2 Version 3 (WARP) on the 850mg HD connected to the Primary Controller in a 101mg FAT Partition. How can I install FreeBSD without interferring with my current operating conditions? There seems to me to be a Boot Floppy: Does this mean I can stick the OS on my HD and use this Boot Floppy to BOOT the FreeBSD Operating System? Or is it installed and run/setup/installed like other OS's? ie; OS/2 Warp, MSDOS, MSWINDOWS. EXAMPLE: OS/2 Warp will install in your primary partition right along with WINDOWS and the System you shut-down in is the system that starts when you boot/re-boot. I prefer to have my OS's totally separate from each other. Can I do this with FreeBSD? Thanks! jkitchens@msn.com {Main}
