Qustion part one: Prepare a USB stick with the FreeBSD "memstick edition". You'll find instructions on how to do that on the FreeBSD website, as well as the installation media. Preparation: Make sure you have _free_ disk space. This means: Do not create any DOS partitions, just leave it "empty" and let the installer perform the required tasks of partitioning and formatting. Question part two: Install the FreeBSD boot manager (which is one of the first steps during the installation process). You can then select at system startup which OS to boot into. > I cannot afford to buy FreeBSD. I'm sorry to hear that, but it won't be a problem. You won't go to jail, don't be frightened. Just install it. It's free. :-) No really: FreeBSD _is_ free to download and to use. You don't need to buy it (even though you _may_ do so; refer to the FreeBSD website for details). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
