Hello,

Maybe a bit off-topic (sorry for this). I've got a fresh Dell M4400
laptop with 250 GByte, pre-installed Vista on it. Is there a way to
reduce the Vista to let's say 50 GByte and install FreeBSD -CURRENT
in the remaining 200 GByte, just to have the Vista later for some
investigations, or whatever? Thx

If not I will scratch the Vista, install FreeBSD and later in the rest
of 50 GByte the Vista again.

	matthias
