I read that redhat should be placed in one of the first two primary partitions on the hard disk, so the first primary partition will remain as windows fat32, and the second primary partition will be for redhat (btw it is a 10.2 gb drive). Now I also wish to try freeBSD as an opperating system and i have downloaded it, but i am not sure how to proceed. Will LILO or other boot selector programs work with three opperating systems? does freebsd need to be in the first two primary partitions? also, linux requires swap space on an extended partition (i'll use just over 100mb) but does freebsd require this? I would like this system running very soon as a reliable server, and thus i would request your response asap, as i'm sure as far as opperating systems go, fbsd really hauls the llama's ass!
