More I read and learn about Unix and similar operating systems, more I consider installing it on my machine. Unfortunately, I can not afford even a low-end 486 like the one I am using now. Therefore, if installed, it will have to be on my current computer. I can not drop my current system for one I am not even sure that I will ever understand. I was told that FreeBSD is capable of working alongside up to five other operating systems. Is this true? My i486, 8mb IBM PS/1 computer is equiped with a 850mb, software overlay-dependent drive and a 85mb drive. Currently, I do not have a need for the second drive; therefore, I want to make it my FreeBSD drive and remain using Windows95 on the other? If possible, how can I do this? Also, are there utilities capable of reading MSDOS diskettes for FreeBSD? Thanks in advance, -Clay R. Smith (claysmith@upstate.net) P.S. If possible, could you reply as soon as possible, so that I will have answer before I leave for vacation on July 1st.
