Hi Ken, when you like experimenting with different OS's on one machine, you shoud try GNU's "Grand Unified Bootloader" grub. You can install it via /usr/ports/sysutils . Then you have to read the man/info pages how to write it on the MBR . You also can write grub to a floppy, in case some windoze or penguin destroys your MBR. Uli.
