I only have one disk, currently as MS-DOS. The install instruction indicate I can use a utility called FIPS to take part of the dos partition and create a FreeBSD partition. Questions: Can the FreeBSD partition be resized later without haveing to reinstall FreeBSD or losing any applications or files? Can Free BSD be removed and the partition be given back to dos later if I move FreeBSD to another hard drive?(I need to purchase a drive, but I worul like to test FreeBSD on what I currently have before investing in another hard drive). Can FreeBSD be moved to another drive later without reinstalling or ? i.e. without alot of work? There are two options for installing it, per the instructions, to install as a USER or DEVELOPER. Can it be later installed as a developer without losing any files or work? I read in the newgroup about a product called 'booteasy'. This sound like I can have an option on startup to either start a DOS session or start FreeBSD, is this correct? Is booteasy included with FreeBSD? I would like this option since everything I have right now is DOS based, especially the games and educational software I currently own. How can I get a complete set of the FAQ's, Handbook, Install and Relnotes? The response in the email I received from info@FreeBSD.org seem to indicate that by sending email to info@FreeBSD.org with the command help or list in the body, the above documentation would be sent to me. It didn't seem to work. Maybe I not including the correct format for the command help or list as indicated. Thanks for your help. Ross
