Hello Warren, > Linux has a way of installing to a FAT32 HD called UMSDOS that allows it to > run off a Windows partition...It's nice. Problem is that I don't have any > extra space left on my HD, and I can't repartition, for the obvious reason > that it'd format my HD, and I don't want to lose Windows. There is a tool called Partition Magic, which will enable you to repartition your disk without data loss. If you only have FAT-partitions on your disk, you can also use fips, which is free. Try downloading from: ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/tools/fips20.zip Note that FreeBSD will need a primary partition to be installed. Chances are you will be better off, purchasing a second hard drive. Depends of the free space on your existing disk. Something like UMSDOS doesn´t exist in FreeBSD as far as I know. Someone please correct me, if I´m wrong. Ciao Siegbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
