I had question I want to install freebsd 4.0 on my computer so I =
purchased Partition Magic 5.0. Now my question is I currently have a C: =
drive which is my hard drive a D: drive which is a system save and an E: =
drive which is my cd rom drive the total hard drive space I have is =
15gb and so far it is divided up something like 4gb for the D:drive and =
the remainder in the C: drive. I took C:down by 4gb and created a Linux =
and a Linux swap, I had no problems doing this and it shows up as a =
Linux partition on the Partition Magic main screen, but when I look at =
my hard drive thru fdisk the Linux space I created for the Unix OS is =
under the Extended Partition. Is this correctly done. if so where =
should I go from here, should I install any files for running the Unix =
OS in the windows partition and if not what is my problem, and is there =
any info on doing this in a little easier terms than the 800 page manual =
that comes with the OS.
Any response greatly appreciated.
