hello all, Having had a positive experience thus far with 5.1-RELEASE and -current beyond that on one of the new boxes I recently built, it is now time to build up the dual-boot system (BSD for me, WinXP for the wife ;). I've read different reports (some from laptop users) about using the WinXP loader to boot FreeBSD and I've also read reports that people used the standard boot-easy to boot both (while even others using GRUB). Are there currently any issues with dual-booting 5.1-RELEASE and/or -current along with Windows XP (probably SP1)? This would be on the same physical disk. What do you other -current users who are faced with dual booting XP do for the most part? Thanks, -Jr -- John & Jennifer Reynolds johnjen at reynoldsnet.org www.reynoldsnet.org Sr. Physical Design Engineer - WCCG/CCE PDE jreynold at sedona.ch.intel.com Running FreeBSD since 2.1.5-RELEASE.
