Which release did you installed? How did you "find out" that the filesystem wasn't compatible? > Besides purchasing Partition Magic, are there any > free programs that will let me dual-boot between Win98 and Freebsd with a > fat32 filesystem? Yes. I think the default boot manager should do it. If not, the os-bs boot manager will get you what you need. It's the one I currently use to boot FreeBSD 2.2.7 and Windows95 (using FAT32). You can find it at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/osbs.exe or something like that in the "tools" directory. > Thanks in advance, No problem! +-----------------------------------+ | Free the world from businessmen | | Free yourself from your money | +-----------------------------------+ Free the web.
