Myquestions are: 1. Will the PC BIOS (I think it's pretty old now) limits FBSD to handle the HD which is large than 540M ? 2. Supposse FBSD is installed in the second drive (drive D) and the only booting sequece is A:, C:(according to the BIOS), will FBSD be able to boot? Can Boot Manager handle this? Is Boot Manager always installed in the C drive. 3. If I choose to install everything(select 'ALL', 'All'... during the process), how much HD space do I need? (My 420M HD seems not enough) Thanks a lot, JC To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
