Several years ago I lived with a friend that was running FreeBSD and he convinced me to set up my machine for dual boot (Win95/FreeBSD). I had my Win95 partition doublespaced and when trying to mount it from FreeBSD hosed somethgin I didnt know how to fix and ended up scratchign the whole disk and installing just FreeBSD. :) So I guess I used it for a desktop box first :) -Bill On Mon, May 10, 1999 at 07:43:21PM +1200, Dan Langille wrote: > This may sound like a sarcastic question, but I assure it is not.
