You can't install any Operating System without creating a partition for it, and FreeBSD is no exception. It uses a filesystem of a completely different type than DOS does. If Windows is taking up the entire disk, you will have to make room for FreeBSD by defragging and then making the partition smaller using FIPS or Partition Magic. The left over space can then be used for FreeBSD. Information on running multiple systems on the same computer is available on the website (http://www.freebsd.org/). > and, also, does FreeBSD have a windows system, like Linux's XWindows? The X Window System is available for all UNIX platforms. It has nothing to do with Linux. XFree86 3.3.2 comes on the FreeBSD 2.2.6 CD and is also available for download, as is FreeBSD. -===================================================================- Jeremy Shaffner JORSM Internet Senior Technical Support Northwest Indiana's Premium jer@jorsm.com Internet Service Provider support@jorsm.com http://www.jorsm.com -===================================================================- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
