A basic setup is fairly simple. Your Q is a bit vague though...Did you want FBSD partition to co-exist with a W98 partition? From my experience, if you really to have fun with FBSD in a networked environment, you should have separate FBSD and W98 boxes. This will allow you to explore all sorts of features. E.G. Samba is an execllent package to install on your FBSD system so that it may provide seamless file/printer sharing with your W98 system. Also, you may want to explore the FBSD system's HTTP/FTP/SMTP/POP/Telnet/RealAudio/X-windows/.........need I say more... I have used both FBSD and Linux. FBSD has given me the most stable performance in a wide variety of loads. I have had uptimes in the order of 12 months. (try that on a Microsquish system).
