Actually you can find now some cheap HDDs so the safest way is to install B= SD/Linux on a second one, but if you can't buy another HDD then backup all = the important date and install BSD with bsd loader on your HDD, after makin= g some free, unformatted space on it.=0A=0A=0A=0A__________________________= ______=0AFrom: "Kruppa, Peter Ulrich" <pukruppa@googlemail.com>=0ATo: Jorge= Biquez <jbiquez@icsmx.com>=0ACc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org=0ASent: Sun= , April 18, 2010 6:50:04 PM=0ASubject: Re: Question.
