My system specs are:
PIII 933 Micron
Windows 98
two hdrives
20 g HD - partitioned c:, d:, e:, f: all have 5 g each.
1.7 g HD - single 100% partition g: drive
CD and CD-RW - drives h: and i: respective
I have the BSD 4.0 power pak - 4 operating system CD's and 6 Cd tool =
kit, plus book.
I have no problem making the two boot disks. My questions are:
1- Can I load the os and tools onto my second HD and have BSD 4.0 run =
with a boot manager and not disturbing the windows files on the first, =
larger HD?
2- There is currently a dos partition (formatted) on my smaller HD. I =
don't care what BSD does with the partition on the smaller HD - it can =
use all the drive. How do I do that?
3- Is it possible to run BSD within the existing dos partition on my =
smaller HD?
Thanks=20
Jeff
