hello there
	I currently have a version slackware(in text form only) on my pc
In order to use it I use something called the umsdos filesystem which
allows me to have linux on an unaltered dos partition.Can you have free
bsd on a normal dos partition or wouls I have to format the disk to
create a bsd specific file system and structure

	regards  Steve Jarvis
