I'm sending a comment, not a question but I didn't know where to send it to. I want the poor souls out there who are like me, have a computer with rather small hard drives (my PC has two hard drives, (an IDE hard drive 163 Mb and a scsi hard drive (234 Mb on an Adaptec AHA 1542CF card, card that I bought used). People who still need to run software/hardware that won't run under anything else but Windows or who just want to maximize the resources of their computer. I want people to know that IT IS possible to use FreeBSD with Win95's DoubleSpace. Not directly, I know, but FreeBSD CAN boot a DoubleSpace-compressed Win 95 partition using the BootEasy boot manager (I've done it and still do). By using disk compression on the Win95 partition, the user can cram more programs/data in less hard drive space, leaving more space to FreeBSD. I'm still trying to figure out how to use an uncompressed DOS partition as a bridge between Win95 and FreeBSD. It would be great if the disk compressing program/patch e2compr could be ported to FreeBSD. -- a030058t@bcfreenet.seflin.lib.fl.us To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
