Dear Sirs, I bought "The Complete FreeBSD" which includes 2 CD (FreeBsd 2.1.5 - Installation and Live File System). Now I am running Win95 on an IBM Aptiva PC. This IBM was bought in Japan and it was provided with a Japanese version of Win95. I changed this to an English version of Win95. The problem is that what I had was just an upgrade so I needed to start with by reformatting the hard disk with a Japanese version of DOS and to use the first installation disk of Windows 3.1 to trick the upgrade. The English version of Win95 is working now but has some small problems. I wold like to keep this version on my hard disk and to run in the same time the FreeBSD. The IBM Aptiva was provided with an HD with the following characteristics: IBM CE MODEL: DJAA-31700 CAPACITY: 1700 MB 3308 CYL 16 HEADS 63 SEC/T P/N 29H7182 FRU P/N 06H8728 MLC EI5496 RATED 5V 450mA DC Almost all of my data is stored on this HD. Now I have 360MB free space on it and I want to install some more software that runs under Win95 (like Autocad 13 and SigmaPlot). For this I will need more space. Recently I obtained a new hard disk. It is a ADTX Quantum E-IDE of 1.2GB. I did not install it yet. I understand from Chapter 5 (of the book mentioned above) that I can do the Shared OS Installation but I did not understand very well how should I proceed. Would you please be so kind and help me to install the FreeBSD on this last HD (Quantum) and to keep some space available for the other programs that I want to install(Autocad 13 and SigmaPlot) and run from Win95? If you think that there is an other possibility (like running these programs under FreeBSD, for example) please let me know. Please accept my thanks in advance. Looking forward for your answer.
