Thank you. > Rob French I have a 486/50 that got along fine with 16 megs ram (it now has 32) for a long time, running Windows 95 and FreeBSD (and OS/2 and Win 3.1, too). The critical thing is that FreeBSD needs a primary partition in which it will be installed, properly located (more info at http://www.freebsd.org--also see the tutorial there on multiple operating systems, probably http://www.freebsd.org/tutuorials/multios/ multios.html). Then with a boot manager, which you can install when you install FreeBSD, you can select which system to boot. Annelise
