Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; x-mac-type="54455854"; x-mac-creator="4D4F5353" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I bought the free BSD software from you and I botched the job. I erased the entire hard drive. I have a laptop with a 5-Gig harddrive and 192-Meg RAM-Is this enough space for your operating system plus Windows 98 plus several intensive software packages? Could you specify what optimal partitioning should be adopted? What should I include or exclude from an installment of BSD? Where did I go wrong when I erased the contents of the drive? I will probably ask more questions later? Regards Stuart Miller. Please respond to sdm157@psu.edu.
