For a primer on FreeBSD's disk partitioning scheme, see: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.html And for a step-by-step tutorial on installing FreeBSD, check out: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html Tip: If you've never done it before, do it on a sacrificial box the first time, before you try and put in on a box that it needs to coexist with another operating system. If you don't have one, back up your Windows system first- FreeBSD is usually pretty friendly, but as with anything, one mistake and it's time to get out the CDs again. :) Regards and good luck, Corey Snow To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
