I went to the referenced site for XOSL and it certainly looked interesting...but was way more than I was looking for at this time (I was happy with the default FreeBSD installed boot manager before W98 trashed it and I certainly didn't want to create partion for it...which seemed to be required). On the XOSL web site I found a refernence to the "Ranish Partition Manager" which I wound up installing and it worked for me. :-) Thanks, Bob On Thu, Jan 11, 2001 at 03:40:30PM -0500, Andresen,Jason R. wrote: > You might also try xosl (http://www.xosl.org), which has a lot of > addtional features over both os-bs and booteasy, including an optional > partition manager.
