I just bought a FUJITSU 735DX P133 MMX w/cd & 56k modem. It only has a 1.6 gig hard drive on it and I wanted to keep win95 on it, I can add another harddrive to one of the bays and I thought I could partion that out into a win95 partion and a freebsd partion. Would I need a special boot up disk to boot up Freebsd? Is my laptop compatiable with FreeBSD? Do have any recommendations on how to install both OS's ? Also just picked up a 3com 574 lan(ethernet) for the laptop, although I didn't see it on your list of supposrt ethernet cards it looks like it could work since you list quite a few 3 com ethernet cards. Will the 3 com ethernet card work? I'm sorry about all the questions but I am kinda new at this new operating system, I work with solaris 2.6 at work so I am very eager to have something similar to work with on the road. THanks ever so much for you time and look forward to hearing from you. Ben Carlson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
