[-- Attachment #1 --] ----- Original Message ----- From: Joe & Fhe Barbish To: Piyush Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 10:44 PM Subject: RE: Installing on a logical DOS partition FBSD does not install into DOS partitions. During the FBSD install it will show you the primary hard drive. If the dos partition is on the primary HD you will have to use commands from the screen that displays the HD, to delete the DOS partition and allocate the FBSD slice to that free space. Isn't it possible to use the space in the DOS partition for FBSD,I dont mind formatting it as 165(the FBSD filesystem),i just don't know how to allocate space on my hard-disk for freebsd is this possible(keeping my Windows primary partition which stores Windows......)......and if possible how? I've already installed Linux(Red-hat,mandrake,suse)and I was thinking on those lines where you can ask Linux to use a particular partition for it and then format it to ext2 and run Linux.......Is something like this possible thro' Fbsd? Thanx......
