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?
