I'm a total Newbie! Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I'd like to install FreeBSD on my current PC. I have a Pentium Pro 200, 64 M RAM, etc. I have about 7 GB HDD, with 6 of it divided up on one hard drive. Basically, I have three available partitions that are logical to the primary DOS partition. (I think that's how I did it.) It may be a primary, with the extended partition housing the logicals. At any rate, do I need to do anything special to one of these partitions prior to installation of FreeBSD on it? I'm currently running Windows 95, and I'll have to retain it for printing needs, at least until I'm assured of successful printing from within FreeBSD. Any comments or help would be greatly appreciated.
