Thanks. The short answer is 'yes'. You will, however, need to reserve space on your disk for a new disk partition on which to install FreeBSD. FreeBSD will not run from a DOS partition. You can either:- - buy a new hard disk - get rid of that unused D: drive ;) - use the FIPS utility to shrink your existing DOS partition (I'm not sure how wise this is, as I have never used it) When you install FreeBSD you will need to install the 'BootEasy' boot manager to allow the option to choose between Windows 95 and FreeBSD on bootup.
