As long as you install FreeBSD to a separate partition, ie, don't overwrite you dos partition, they will happily co-exist. If you don't have another partition you *can* tell the install program to use your current dos partition in which case FreeBSD does become your new OS. No loss, IMO :) Dan -- Dan Busarow 714 443 4172 DPC Systems / Beach.Net dan@dpcsys.com Dana Point, California 83 09 EF 59 E0 11 89 B4 8D 09 DB FD E1 DD 0C 82
