FreeBSD comes with a boot manager (actually two) and you may also use the NT boot manager to boot FreeBSD (though it's a bit more complicated than using those that come with FreeBSD, and also requires NT, so if you want just Win95 and FreeBSD, using FreeBSD's boot manager is easier). There is documentation of those things in the web site. For FreeBSD/Win95 (and DOS and OS/2) combination look at: http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/multios/multios.html For using the NT boot loader, look at the FAQ, specificaly: http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ76.html#76 > > thanks for your anticipated response > > > --------------------autosignature---------------------- > Mike Antici > Systems Administrator > Scholastic Sport Registry > mike@scholasticsports.com > (203) 797-9811 > Nadav
