But there are a few questions that I wanted to be answered before loading OS. 1. I have a 6.3 Gig hard drive and have 3 drives on it , with Windows 95 loaded in it. I assume that Windows 95 does have the DOS environment as Windows 3.1 . Can I load freeBSD on my D drive deploy the operating system there? Or would I have to reformat my entire system to load the operating system? 2. Does FreeBSD have the features like OS/2 which can co exists with Windows? 3. How friendly is it to Databases? 4. Can I use MS Access with this operating system? 5. Are their any free databases that I can use with the operating system? 6. Is there a connectivity tool like (ODBC/JDBC) with freeBSD? 7. Do we have a FreeBSD flavour of Javac? 8. Can it talk to windows programs like MS Access or VB? Please inform me about this asap. mark puttnam web master To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
