That way wine will have RW access to the partition and everything should work fine. All you have to do after you re-install is install a boot loader.. either the standard freebsd boot loader, the w2k boot loader, or even one that ive used before called 'smart boot manager'. SBM was quite good. configurable from the loader screen, installs from a dos boot disk. google for "smart boot manager". --Shaun chip wiegand wrote: > I have a box running fbsd/w2k but am considering replacing w2k with > win98.
