hi,
I know FreeBSD 2.2 cannot handle EIDE drives greater than 500 MB.
As instructed in the book, we have to partition it into 2 boot
partitions, one for win and one for FreeBSD. I am wonder if
the upcoming FreeBSD 3.0 still has that problem. Frankly, it is
quite not friendly. Even if I put 400 MB partition for Windows,
where c:\windows will be installed, it is too tight for it. I am
having problem with that. When I install some program, which will
create a TEMP directory in either c:\windows or c:\, it is often
enough to see "insufficient disk space". That is why I am wondering
if that problem is resolved. By the way, if you don't mind, why
doesn't linux have that problem?
Thanks,
