I don't know what 800 page manual page you are talking about... I went to www.google.com and searched for "install freebsd partition magic", then I clicked on the first result: http://www.vmunix.com/fbsd-book/install.phtml Then I scrolled down until I found a section named: 5.2.2. A single disk Multi-OS install It's for an older version of FreeBSD, but I think it will work great for you. One of the most important things to learn when you're first getting into this stuff is to ALWAYS try to find the answer yourself before asking other people. That's what online documentation is all about. Anyway, good luck with your project! -Ben On Fri, Jan 12, 2001 at 06:36:23PM -0500, Brian Black wrote: > I had question I want to install freebsd 4.0 on my computer so I purchased Partition Magic 5.0. Now my question is I currently have a C: drive which is my hard drive a D: drive which is a system save and an E: drive which is my cd rom drive the total hard drive space I have is 15gb and so far it is divided up something like 4gb for the D:drive and the remainder in the C: drive. I took C:down by 4gb and created a Linux and a Linux swap, I had no problems doing this and it shows up as a Linux partition on the Partition Magic main screen, but when I look at my hard drive thru fdisk the Linux space I created for the Unix OS is under the Extended Partition. Is this correctly done. if so where should I go from here, should I install any files for running the Unix OS in the windows partition and if not what is my problem, and is there any info on doing this in a little easier terms than the 800 page manual that comes with the OS. > > Any response greatly appreciated. > > Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
