Hey,

I have a Dell Inspiron Laptop running Windows2000 on an
NTFS file system. I wish to install freeBSD on the same disk
as I have Win200 installed, with a dual boot option. My questions are:
1) What program(s) can do the partitioning of my disk, which
I need to do before installing freeBSD?
2) Is it preferable to install from a CD-ROM, or will it
suffice to download the latest release from the web?

thanks,
sigve
