I just purchased a 27 GB hard drive and I plan to partition it to hold some or all of the following: Windows 98 and 2000, Gentus and RedHat 6.1 Linux, BeOS 4.5 or 5.0, FreeDOS, and FreeBSD. I was looking for any input on the best way to partition the drive, in which order i should install the OSes, and what boot manager is best to use. Also I was wondering if there is one file system with which i could format a large partition (10-20 GB) so that it would be visible and accessible from all (or most) of the operating systems. Thanks for any input you can provide. -Joe Kirtland To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
