First, M$-DOG can't read UFS (FreeBSD partition). Second, 200MB is unlikely enough space if you want X, and other good stuff. It's enough to install and run it, butI'd suggest more. Third, why do you want M$-DOG in the first place? Sorry I didn't answer your questions. I've never had to use/install M$-DOG together with any UNIX system. > > Thank you for your help. > > bh623@scn.org > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- Dima Dorfman (dima@zwb.net) "640k ought to be enough for anybody." - Bill Gates, 1981 Micro$oft Sucks!
