I was curious about setting up a development machine and wondering what to install on it. I would think it is reasonable to dual-boot -CURRENT and -STABLE on this box. Is this possible on the same hard disk, or will multiple hard disks be required for that? I'm thinking that the BIOS should complain about multiple partitions of the same type? I'm so out of the loop in the PC world that I don't know if that is still a problem :) Any tips or tricks here would be appreciated - not just with the dual boot, but with -CURRENT development workstations in general. How are all your development machines set up? thanks all -- Steve Tremblett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
