Both Walnut Creek and InfoMagic sell FreeBSD V2.0 CD-ROMs. Check out Walnut Creek at "http://www.cdrom.com"(no, I'm not affiliated with either company...) > 1) will i still be able to retain my WFW3.11 files on my hard drive (in > other words, can i boot FreeBSD from a diskette)??? You can install a boot manage that allows you to select which OS you want to boot when you start up your system; you don't need to boot from floppy. Info is contained in the FAQ; see "http://www.freebsd.org". > 2) exactly how much of my hard drive is FreeBSD going to eat away??? Anywhere from 80Mb to 300Mb+, depending on what you load.
