It amounts to exactly the same thing - when the installation is done you'll have a FreeBSD "slice" where the DOS "partition" was. You'll be shown a screen during the installation that lists the partitions (Windows language) or slices (FreeBSD language) on your machine, which will show an area on the disk being used for DOS. First delete the DOS partition, then create a FreeBSD slice in the emptied space (it's very quick and simple). Then proceed with the rest of the installation. Jud The program shows the primary dos partition and extended dos partition but not any logical partitions under the extended partition......the logical partition on which I wish to install Fbsd is the last one.......if I delete a 'slice' of a particular size will fbsd delete any other partitions? Thanx....... Piyush __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
