Others insist NT has to be installed first. But it *is* best to let a Microsoft fdisk.exe do the initial paritioning of your HD. Used MS-DOS 5.0 floppy to partition this HD. Then ran it a year or so with an empty 512MB first partition before I broke down, purchased NT 4.0 and installed there. FreeBSD's boot manager (BootEasy?) lets me select the partition to be booted. Other than the fact NT rebooted about 12 times before the installation was completed, I didn't do anything special. NT did crash when I didn't know any better than let it probe for network devices. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
