[-- Attachment #1 --] I don't have enough knowledge to tell you if it will ir will not work, why don't you just try and see? At that point if you have an error, you can post here, or go to the many other sites that help. Mine has forums and low volume mailing lists that try to help people. But all you have to do is search google and theres thousands more just like it. Give it a go whats the worst that will happen if its an empty drive anyhow. Just be sure not to grease your existing OS. Id be happy to help if you want to email me directly. I got time. sagacious (Mike) Network administrator The unixhideout network http://www.unixhideout.com -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Wanda Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 10:47 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: About FreeBSD Operating System To whom it may concern, I am writing to ask for help about installing the FreeBSD in my computer. I have a DELL Optiplex GX 115, X86 Computer with Windows XP installed on the master drive 40 gigs. It has 512 Ram, 800 mhz, a slave drive 15 gigs which I want to install another operating system on for programming purposes. My question is, will the FreeBSD run on my slave drive, which is already partitioned and ready for installation. I am so frustrated. I have read so much on different sites including redhatlinux etc., and I just want to download something that will work with mine. I tried the phatlinux, and it said it wasn't compatible with my X86, which it referred to as an older version. :::laughs:::: Sigh. Can you help me? Please?
