I haven't done things that way for a while now. Having an existing system, I usually have mapped out which OSes I want on my system (both directly bootable and virtual) along with a sketch of how my hard drive space will be allocated. Then after backing up my personal data, I wipe everything out and start from scratch installing the OSes and the apps. So I'm probably not "typical" in this regard at all. --Chip Morton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
