I gave a 2.2.7 dist kit to a (sceptic?) colleague. I was hoping him coming back as a missionaire. Grrm, he told me, FreeBSD install had overwritten his bootsector (NT) although he explicitly clicked the option that was promising to leave the bootsector intact. Well, I gave him the tip to reinstall the NT bootsector from the NT repair disk or otherwise use FDISK/MBR + some freeware utility called bootpart or something IIRC. Anyway, not a good start to gain FreeBSD followers :-( -- Chris Christoph P. U.
