WinNt will not interfere with the FBSD loader. Mike Akers M. Akers Enterprises P.S. If you trust DEC, you can trust NT. NT was written by the same people that wrote the DEC OS. ---------- From: Joe Pepin [SMTP:pepin_j@ins.com] Sent: Thursday, September 09, 1999 5:57 AM To: rgrieselhuber@londonind.com; FBSDQuestion Subject: RE: freebsd/NT I have done this with linux... I had W98 and Linux installed. I replaced w98 with WNT with NO PROBLEMS. I was so suprised! It seems NT does not mess with your bootloader. I had a bootdisk for linux all ready, and assumed I would have to re-install lilo etc. but when I rebooted there was lilo! Now, I have NO IDEA if you would be as lucky with FBSD, but that was my experiance. I would still back everything up. NT is more "professional" in its handling of install etc. Don't trust it too much, but it's better than W9X.
