Date: Tue, 8 Sep 1998 13:29:01 +0100 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.1960.3) Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I am looking to find out if it's possible (or not recommended!) to install FreeBSD on a notebook. I have a Gateway 2000 Solo 2300 with 2.1Gb H/D, 12.1 TFT 800x600, 12/24Speed CDROM, 31/2 Disk, 32mb Ram. I have used various flavors of Unix and am wondering if installing FreeBSD would help me learn more about the unix operating system? Also am I likely to run into any major problem with a dual boot Windows 95 setup? Only I can't afford to lose that data or damage the notebook in anyway. Maybe I should buy a cheap PC to run FreeBSD on? thanks Nik To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
