I have just installed FreeBSD from a Walnut Creek CD-ROM onto my Gateway. I have plenty of work cut out for me reading the Handbook and figuring out FreeBSD. When I boot Windows 95, so far my applications run OK. The only problem is with the utilities: Windows Explorer, Find and My Computer. They all three hang up and freeze the system. I am almost certain that this has something to do with their inability to read the contents of the partition where FreeBSD resides, and with their being set to look at that partition. Perhaps a solution would be to use the installation menu to unmount the partition or mount it as a DOS partition, reboot under Windows where the partition would show up as the E: drive (pushing the CD-ROM over to F:) Then use some DOS or Windows utility to hide it. (Could I just delete it?) and then re-label and remount the drive space within the new partition and re-install FreeBSD on the hidden partition. Ladies & Gentlemen, please let me know if you have any thoughts on this subject.
