Well, how big is ur hd? From my experience with W2K & FBSD on TP600 w/ 4Gb hd, 1.5Gb for W2K & 2.5 for FBSD. I used "Auto Defaults for all!" in Disklabel Editor. Anyway, I'd allow at least 2Gb for W2K if you have 6Gb or more hd. Really, it's totally up to you on how much you plan to use OS. I never tried to install FBSD on a Compaq laptop since I don't have Compaq laptop. I'd love to install FBSD on all laptops, but no money. So far, I've tried 3 kinds of ThinkPad and Dell Latitude CSx. --jwv On Thu, Nov 02, 2000 at 10:51:34PM +0100, Wilde, James wrote: > Can anyone suggest a good arrangement of slices on a Compaq laptop which > will include W2K and FreeBSD (4.1+). > > Any other tips or gotchas with installation on a Compaq laptop.
