No, but you need to create some partitions for FreeBSD. A minimum of two: one file, one swap. I'd recommend about 64MB of swap, and no less than about 600MB for files. Your circumstances may widely vary of course, depending on how much you use FreeBSD and what you use FreeBSD for. > Also I was wondering whether i can run freebsd and windows.

(I'd recommend you "accidentally" trash your Windows partition though :-) You can't run both at the same time, of course. > And i also have another problem, my modem is a Winmodem, can i connect > to the internet un freebsd with my winmodem? No, __win__modem, never buy _any_ hardware with win in the name, despite its name you will actually lose :-( -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk send a blank message to ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
