Dear freebsd,
I couldn't partition my drives so I got "Partition Magic" ( a
software ) which is OK.My version of free bsd has purple lettering on 4
cdroms and says June 1999. Partition Magic does not list freebsd on the
types of operating systems it knows about. What kind of partition
should I make for free bsd ? What kind of FAT ? Does it need a "swap"
extension like Linux ? I have a cautious streak that gets worse every
time I install another operating system ( I have 5 now ). Thank you,
but one last question... I got this HP Colorado tape drive for back up.
Do you have any idea if: it looks for data already backed up and skips
it, just adding on new data ? HP can't seem to figure that one out, and
the drive didn't come with a manual; hmm, it did have a cd though.
Anyway before I install need to know about the partition thing. After
that I will read the man pages, etc. before I ask any more questions...
Cheerio !!! asjwm2@uaa.alaska.edu
