Good afternoon. I have a Compaq SR1810NX with a 100GB hard drive split into four equal partitions of 23GB. Two are initialized (one with Windows/XP (C) and the other with a quick format (G)); the file systems are NTFS. The other two partitions (D and E) are uninitialized. I have FreeBSD 4.9 on three CD'S that I'd like to install into one of the uninitialized partitions. Can you tell me what I need to do for preinstallation and what do I need to know to direct my installation to one of the uninitialized partitions? I'm going to give the entire 23GB to FreeBSD. Thank you in advance for your assistance. I'm very anxious to learn UNIX system administration and all of the related tasks (shell programming, security administration, etc.). Walt Haynes
