I believe it will...to check on hardware compatibility go to www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO. I usually recommend (prefer) doing fresh installs after I get a system. If you windows in on a fat16 base(which I doubt) you can use fips to change the partions...otherwise I've been told the way to go is Partion Magic (commericial product). Michael G. ---------- From: Jean-Paul Beconne[SMTP:beconne@nmrc.ucc.ie] Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 1998 5:08 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Gateway laptops I would like to install UNIX FreeBSD on a laptop from Gateway 2000 (Solo 2100 133 Mhz or Solo 2300 133 Mhz MMX). Gateway provides me the laptop with Windows'95 and MS Office 97. Is this hardware suitable for FreeBSD ? Should I ask Gateway to performe a partition or can I performe it after the installation of Windows 95 and the applications ?
