It should automaticly setup the partition andso forth. Then just go into lilo's config, and add freebSD. It should be quite simple. I have both happily on my system. One question, why so much swap space? Most of your work probably wont need much swap, and even then not nearly that much (although I hear netscape gobbles alot). if you need a step-by-step, email me and I'll walk you through any problems. I promise you, it will seem elemtary after the first time. ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
