hi, im a unix/linux newbie, and im really interested in learning this stuff, a friend gave me a copy of freebsd, i installed it (probably incorrectly, since it didnt work), it erased my extended partition (FAT) and i lost all my programs. that happened a while ago, and ill give it another try and this time ill prepare so, i have a handful of questions, it would be really appreciated if you could try answering them i have a parallel zip drive, is there any freebsd driver that can let me use it? can freebsd read the files on a FAT16 drive? the copy i have is 2.2.7 with the 4 cds and the book in a txt file, as a newbie, do you think i should bother getting 3.1? I have 4 partitions C,D,E,F: D,E, and F are in my extended partition. I dont use my E: partition, so should i delete it under fdisk and then will the FreeBSD installer show that E: is unused? a friend of mine told me that there is a linux emulator for freeBSD, is it on 1 of the 4 cds on the 2.2.7 package? im sick of nt, it crashes demands a hoard of RAM ( i have 64) and doesnt work with half the stuff out there, and its too complicated for primitivity please, help me out To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
