Hello!
My name is Blake Crosby and I about to purchace Free BSD from you
CD-ROM Distributor (can't remember the name). But before I do, I would like
to ask some specific questions.
Currently I am Running Win95 on a 486 DX2/66 with 8 MB of RAM, and a
14.4 bps modem. I know that this is not nearly enough power to successfully
maintain a server to the www. But when I signed up with my service provider
(Interlog [www.interlog.com]) they gave me my own static IP address
(205.206.70.59), and I dont want this to go to waste. The reason why I want
to get Free BSD now is because in the future I will be upgrading my bandwith
to atleast 500kbps.
I am comfertable with adding and removing partitions but What I
would really like to know is if I am able to run Free BSD with win95, will
the Free BSD partition(s) interfere with the booting/operation of win95.
Here is the following file system on my computer:
Drive Comments
A: 3.5" Floppy 1.44 MB
B: 5.25" Floppy 1.22 MB
C: MS-DOS Drive 511 MB *Compressed with Stacker*
D: CD-ROM Drive 2x speed
E: Subst Drive 407 MB
I: Host for drive c: 406 MB
I would also like to know if that Free BSD will be compatible or
have a smiliar program to MS-DOS' "Laplink". So that I cam update files from
my laptop to the Free BSD system.
Any other information that will help me will be very greatfull,
thanks for your time and I await your responce!
Regards,
Blake Crosby.
