Be warned that many people have simply just wiped thier DOS partition in a late night attempt at rebellion against the forces in Redmond. Seriously, windows and FreeBSD can co-exist, it is recommended that you backup first, you can also choose to "dual boot" into dos or FreeBSD if you install the "bootmanager" called "booteasy". good luck and have fun, -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@rush.net|bright@wintelcom.net] systems administrator and programmer Win Telecom - http://www.wintelcom.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
