Dear sir/miss I have a WIN98 computer and I'am interested in BSD. I create my own website but not hosting. Wat I want to do with BSD is a local PC say a 486 or a bit faster to be a file and printer server. So this second machine should contain a couple of harddisks and the printers. But can the file format only be NFS EXT2 and FAT16 or is FAT32 also an option? Win 98 does use FAT32 for drives bigger than 2GB. If possible can I use harddisks of 20GB or above or must it be small drives like 2GB. When this is set up I can use it to locally test my website. And how does installation work? Must BSD itself be installed on a seperate driveformat (fileformat EXT2) or just C with FAT32 and can windows remain on this drive aswell? Is it graphic installation or textbased such as linux? And finally what is the best way to start, wich FREEBSD package schould I get? And what would be a good book to learn more about it?
