I would like to install FreeBSD 4.8 ont a hard disk which currently has 2 partitions containing Win XP and SuSE Linux 8.2. XP is installed on a primary partition with Linux living successfully in an extended partition starting from cyl. 1276 (20GB disk). Will installing FreeBSD in a 1Gb partition starting at say cyl. 2245 cause me problems? Regards Ali
