This will come pre-installed with Windows 95. I would like to put Unix on the same disk and have the option to dual boot. I have read the FAQs but I was wondering if this could be achieved by using fdisk. What I had in mind was to create 2 partitions with fdisk and then install FreeBSD on the second . Does this sound feasible or is there an easier way of doing this. Also what size requirements are there. My major concern is deleting any Windows software that I will have on the preinstalled machine as I may not have backup CDs for these products. Any help would be appreciated - Steve ___________________________________ If this is a spam, please report it by forwarding to spam@postmaster.co.uk.
