As far as I know, it should be installed after the "Windows" installation, because it would be overwritten otherwise. If you're planning to also use Linux, I think GRUB may be a good solution. As I am not using multi-boot environments, I can't be more precise. But go ahead and try the presented suggestions. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
