You are allowed 4 primary partitions, one of which can be > extended and can contain logical partititons. Corrected... I had it around the wrong way... But sysinstall still shouldnt care so long as you are not using it to create them... Hmm its been a while since I have ever had more than one DOS partition they are only useful for running little diagnostic programs in... Or for a laptop to suspend to... On a laptop I dont really see why anyone would want to duel boot with windows, its not like you are going to be playing OpenGL games on a laptop, and IMO thats all windows is useful for... And that is slowly changing, since now Quake3 is ported to FreeBSD Im sure more games will follow! :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
