I have a new PC which I am very apprehensive of messing around with (ie partitioning etc.) as it is only two weeks old. I wish to install FreeBSD but need a few answers before I attempt anything. The PC is a Gateway 2000 Pentium 200mhz MMX with a 3.8GB hard drive (2GB drive C, 1.8 GB drive D, Mitsumi 12X CD-ROM on drive E) I have 32MB's of RAM and sound card, 17" monitor etc and have Win95 on drive C: . What I want is to have is an option when I boot up to either go into Win95 or freeBSD Xwindows .If I was going to install FreeBSD on the PC from a CD-ROM would that mean erasing everything that is there at the moment or could I erase whats on the existing D: drive and install it there? Normally I would head straight into the installation but since I have never installed FreeBSD before and my computer costing so much I would be very appreciative if these questions could be answered or a step by step guide that I can point my web browser at to get the details on putting the two operating systems on one PC. Thanks in Advance, Richard O'Connorhome | help
