Unless you take special measures to "Dual Boot", you will end up with only FreeBSD after you are done. You should be aware that FreeBSD and Windows 98 use different filesystems, so when you go to Install FreeBSD on your system it will be looking to repartition your hard disk. You should take care to backup your important data prior to installing FreeBSD. Sam Fourman Jr. Fourman Networks
