Any paricular reason why you think this will happen? It WILL NOT happen since FreeBSD really has nothing to do with Windows, not unless you're assuming that FreeBSD is some kind of application for Windows, which itis not. What you're looking at is a situation where you'll be running multiple OS in your box, and FreeBSD has a boot Manager which,if you install, will let you decide what to boot. Just be careful about the partition you intend to use for FreeBSD. I suggest to install it on unformatted space on your disk...that way you do not stand a chance of messing, especially because you might get confused when FreeBSD installer asks you to choose a partition on which to install. +wash -- Odhiambo Washington Systems Administrator Inter-Connect Ltd. 3rd Flr The Chancery Valley Rd PO Box 39519 Nairobi, KENYA Tel: 254 2 711140 Fax: 254 2 718418 Let others praise ancient times.
