Hi, I have BSD 4.8 and want to install it on a server that already had = Windows 2000 Server and Advanced Server. I want to install BSD on a = spare partition so my questions are: 1. Will BSD install for multiple boot with Windows already there and = if so,=20 2. How much disk space do I need for a good server/workstation = install - no games or source code - will 5GB do the job? Do I need = more? 3. What are the potential problems that I need to be aware of during = and after installation? I just installed Solaris 9 X86 on an older PC with a 4GB HD, and it will = not allow me to logon. It issues a message, "DT Messaging system could = not be started" and tells me how to work around it with a "failsafe = logon" and files to check. I have been all over the Internet looking = for solutions. This appears to be a fairly common problem but none of = the solutions seem to really work. Do any of you know of a good Solaris = Users Group? I am new to Unix. Thanks, Harry =20
