The short answer is 'depends'. The longer answer is one of: a) Yes, on a separate hard disk. With the low prices of disks nowadays, this is by far the safest option you have. b) Yes, if you can use PartitionMagic to resize your Windows partition to make some free space for BSD. I don't know much about PartitioMagic, since I do not use neither this nor Windows, but I've heard several people's success stories with partitions resized by PartitionMagic. - giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
