1. Yes 2 GB more than enough, of course you could fill that very quickly if you start installing different packages. 2. FreeBSD comes with a boot manager, it will allow you to choose which drive you'd like to boot from, and will default to the last drive that you chose. Keep in mind, that the boot manager does need to be installed to the C: drive to work, since that is the drive that the system initially boots from. This will not effect windows. (despite the above assurance, you should ALWAYS backup all valuable information before installing a new operating system.) -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Heff001@aol.com [SMTP:Heff001@aol.com] > Sent: Sunday, June 06, 1999 12:53 PM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Installation - Already have Win 98 > > OK I have purchased Walnut Creek's FreeBSD Lite 3.1 (on CD-ROM) for my PC. > > > I have a: > > AMD-K6(tm) 3D Processor > 64.0MB RAM > GENERIC IDE DISK TYPE46 - 6.4 GIG Primary Master C: > GENERIC IDE DISK TYPE46 - 8.4 GIG Primary Slave D: > BCD 40XH CD-ROM > > I am running Windows 98 4.10.1998 > > Question1: I plan to install FreeBSD on drive D: giving it 200MB of space. > Is > this enough? > Question2: When I install FreeBSD, do I need something like System > Commander > to get to either OS?
