Configured as: 800 Mhz AMD Anthlon, 128 MG, Mediamatic = DVD drive, CDRW drive ?, 16 Mg nVidia TNT2 graphics card, 128 bit Sound = Blaster audio card, Micromodem 56K modem, NIC card ?.... Do you know if = I can run FreeBSD on my system? I really don't know if I can run it on = an AMD processor, people tell me I can only use an Intel chipset? Is = there any truth to this? I've been out of the X window scene for a while and would like to jump = back in. =20 I'm trying to make a dual boot system and was wondering... can I do this = with Win 98 and FreeBSD. Could I load FreeBSD into a partition on my = Win 98 hard drive or would I need a new HD to load the system? Is there = a way to open a window in FreeBSD and to run a Win 98 application witin = it? If I'm asking too many questions.... please direct me to the appropriate = web pages. Thank you for your time! FreeBSD friend, Dave Lindberg :-) ------=_NextPart_000_0005_01C01FDD.CD9FA880 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2919.6307" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hello All,</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>My name is Dave Lindberg and I just = bought a new=20 AMD Anthlon machine...
