To Whom it my concern, I need help in installing Free BSD on my computer. I have a pentium with a 2.4G hard drive. The principle operating system running is Win95. I've partioned the hard drive in the following manner, C: 300M, D: 200M, E: 250M, F: 250M, G: 250M, H: 250M and I: 925M. Win95 has been installed on C:. All the partions have been MS-DOS formated. I would like to install the Free BSD operating system on the I: drive. Does the I: drive need to be MS-DOS formated? I bought the CD-ROM version of FreeBSD 2.2.2 . I have CD-ROM drive installed, so I intend to install it from the CD-ROM drive. Furthermore, I would like to able to switch from UNIX to Win95 and vice versa with no problems. Please forward me your instructions by e-mail, it would be much appreciated. Please also be as articulate as possible and do not miss any steps, I might get lost. Tell it to like I'm a 2 year old. Thank you very much, Onofrio Schiavone onofrio@colba.net
