-----Original Message----- From: Natalie Behm <natalie_behm@yahoo.com> To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Thu, 7 Nov 2002 13:33:46 -0800 (PST) Subject: Removing and Replacing FreeBSD Having gone over and over and over and over the handbook and installation guides, I have determined that the installation of FreeBSD just does NOT work for me. Perhaps it is because I'm not a programmer, perhaps it's because I'm a complete moron (as I'm sure anyone reading this will make a comment on), but it simply does not work for me, does not match my needs, etc. What I'm needing to know, though, is whether I can simply stick my Windows 98 disk in and it will complete remove and replace FreeBSD, or is there something else needed to complete the task of removing this completely user-UNfriendly operating system and replacing it with something that we commonplace morons can use? Natalie Behm natalie_behm@yahoo.com *********************************************** Yep, if you go through the installation procedure for Win98, it will remove FreeBSD. Hint for trying a new operating system: Have at least one person, preferably more, whom you can ask questions when you come to the almost inevitable sticking points. (FreeBSD-newbies and -questions can and do serve this purpose, among others.) Hint #2: Windows 2000 and Windows XP are both *much* more stable than Win98. (It was the crash-prone nature of Win98 that first drove me to thoughts of trying other OSs.) Hint #3: Among Unix-ish OSs, Mac OS X and certain Linuxes have a reputation for being easy to install. I have not tried either OS X or Linux personally. General Observation #1: We are all commonplace morons (or even unusually thick:) about many things.
