Uninstalled programs don't run. You can repartition your drive and make room for both.

There is a version of Netscape for FreeBSD in the ports collection. There is a book available from Walnut Creek.

Yes, better than anything you imagined. Be prepared to learn. FreeBSD is a real operating system, meant to do real work. ->Please answer my questions if possible...thank you... ->: ) ->||-} ||-| (() //-\ Someday, as Bill Gates said, NT may be as good a Unix as Unix. -- Jay
