Dear sir or madam, I wanted to download the FreeBSD but I am totally lost. My system is not running DOS. What I have is this. NT server which is my usual platform (what I am using now as I write this email on netscape). I have NT OS files on a NTFS partiton, with dual boot operation with Win 95 on the another partition drive D: so... C: drive is a small 'active' FAT partition for the system boot files for both operating systems. My PC uses C: to get started & gives me a choice on what OS I want to use. The other partitions on this hard drive (FAT & NTFS) house the WIN 95, NT OS files and my mail etc. Now I have a second hard drive 504mb completely blank, formatted with FAT. I intend on installing your version of UNIX on this drive which I have called Drive J:. So all I want to do is download FreeBSD off the net and install it on drive J: How do I do this nice & simple? If dual boot is a problem with FREE BSD & my other OS's, I can set drive J: maually to active before I exit NT. Then the system should boot to FreeBSD on drive J: and then I should use FDISK on FREEBSD ( if their is such a command) to switch back into NT & reboot if I wanted to go back to NT. This is what Microsoft says to do. I would appreciate very much your help on this. I am new to UNIX & I figured I had better to get to know more about it so FreeBSD seems like the correct choice for me.
