Yes, it's very easy. You just have to have to space to install a freebsd partition on your hard disks, and FreeBSD installs a boot-manager automatically to handle the switch. If you don't currently have the space, run the defragmenter on your hard drive and then use the "fips" utility available from ftp.freebsd.org in the 2.1.6.1-RELEASE/tools directory. fips will split a partition, but only when it is organized to have all the data in the front. -John ---------- From: Ryan Davidson[SMTP:rsd3957@cs.tamu.edu] Sent: Monday, January 27, 1997 6:19 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Installing FreeBSD along with WIN95 Hello, I am interested in installing FreeBSD but I am worried about conflicts with my windows operating system. I would like to have windows as my default OS, but be able to switch to a unix OS when necessary. Is this possible? Thanks, Ryan Davidson rsd3957@cs.tamu.edu
