Make yourself a partition for FreeBSD via Parition Magic or fips or some other tool, then install FreeBSD as explained in the handbook. The installation for dual-boot doesn't differ all that much from a standalone installation.. the only real different thing you need to do is make a partition for FreeBSD. > Also does FreeBSD have better USB support than Linux? Dunno. I don't use Linux and have no idea what their USB support is like, but FreeBSD supports my USB floppy just fine. Here's a list of USB stuff from the GENERIC kernel.. # USB support #device uhci # UHCI PCI->USB interface #device ohci # OHCI PCI->USB interface #device usb # USB Bus (required) #device ugen # Generic #device uhid # "Human Interface Devices" #device ukbd # Keyboard #device ulpt # Printer #device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus # and da #device ums # Mouse # USB Ethernet, requires mii #device aue # ADMtek USB ethernet #device cue # CATC USB ethernet #device kue # Kawasaki LSI USB ethernet - jim -- - jim mock - walnut creek cdrom/freebsd test labs - jim@luna.cdrom.com - - phone: 1.925.691.2800 x.3814 - fax: 1.925.674.0821 - jim@FreeBSD.org - - editor - The FreeBSDzine - www.freebsdzine.org - jim@freebsdzine.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
