First, I have a cyrix based PC machine. I have expaned my PC to a Full tower case, and have three hard drivers installed. I would like to keep Win95 as my primary Operating system. Can I load Free-bsd so that it write to the third disk, which I have nothing on, and boot from that disk when I want to run free-bsd???? Next, I wanted to know if I will be able to program in C or C++ when i get Free-bsd, or will I have to find a seperate modules somewhere, and add that to the program??? Will I be able to load free-bsd from and internet connection??? I would like to download it at work, where my connection is LAN oriented, and much more stable. Finally, you mention that free-bsd can be booted from a CDROM. Do you have to obtain a cd from somewhere, or do you mean that you can burn the os to a cd, and then run it from there. Please clarify this for me...
