You may want to check out fips. It will help repartition your hard drive so you can install FreeBSD along with a boot manager. This way when you boot up you'll be prompted to enter FreeBSD or DOS. ***** I am not experienced enough yet to tell you that windows will work if you choose the dos option. I believe it will but you may want to do some searching on http://www.freebsd.org. http://www.freebsd.org/search.html is a good site to look for other questions people have asked as well as the handbook etc. Your next question about Xwindows...Yes you can run Xwindows with Freebsd. Works great in fact. " Sometimes I have to wonder if it's windows or if it's freebsd. :-) Then I realize it's not crashing so it must be FreeBSD. No just kidding, FreeBSD is great. If your looking to learn more about computers and how everything works . You'll learn quit a bit from working with this O/S I hope this helps You !!! > > and, also, does FreeBSD have a windows system, like Linux's XWindows? > > thankyou a lot for your time. > > Adrian. > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- FreeBSD It's That And More http://www.FreeBSD.org /SD http://sderdau.bit-net.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
