Is it my imagination or is a 64 bit install going to take twice the space of a regular 32 bit one? 2. I have seperate SCSI drives, one for XP-64 and one for FreeBSD-64. In the past I have used grub to boot between OS's. If #1 is true then grub will no longer be on a floppy and will have to become bootable CD unless useable in emulation mode. Is there a grub port for 64? Thanks, Rob.
