I have a FreeBSD CD (burned from latest ISO) I would like to split the 20gb partition into two 10gb partitions and install FreeBSD on one of those partitions. I have downloaded the demo of PartitionMagic, having heard that program mentioned before. The demo lets me go through the steps (to see if it would work) PM asked me if I was going to put a new OS on the new partition. I said Yes. It asked what OS and gave me these choices: Dos/Win 3.1 Win 95/98 Win NT Win 2000 Linux OS/2 Well, "none of the above" really, but I have to choose one, right? Should I choose Linux because it's the closest Unix-variant? Any help appreciated. If I can get this to work I'll buy PM and try it tonight.
