Not sure on this one. The XWindows installation on my system takes up 76 megs (not couting KDE - a cool window manager). It can probably be done, but I think you might be tight on space for extra programs like netscape, etc. Anyone know for sure? > > Also, what software can you use to create a partition without losing > everything on your disk? > fips will take an existsing partition and split it into 2. fips can be found at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/dist/fips11.zip Be sure to read the documentation that comes with it. It contains important information like the fact you have to defragment your disk before you use it. -- Jason --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jason Godfrey godfreja@acm.cs.uwec.edu FreeBSD - The power to serve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
