FreeBSD can share a disk with other OS's assuming you give it *its own primary partition*. You can mount Linux ext2fs partitions with FreeBSD. If you want to install FreeBSD *over* Linux, simply remove the Linux partition and make a new FreeBSD partition in its place. There's no such thing as using just a FreeBSD kernel over a Linux installation. > > Thank you > Chuck Gibson > > Nadav
