It is if you put it on the system instead of MS-Win stuff. It will totally replace it if you use fdisk to create a FreeBSD slice and then partition that slice and install FreeBSD.

But that is not what he said. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
