My FreeBSD takes up about 400MB and I don't even have the sources. If you plan to run Xwindows (like most of us do), you have to know that it takes up a lott of space, and so does most of the x-apps. ( Xemacs is 40 MB ). It is possible to install it in only a couple of megs but that would be very frustrating because of a lack of nice toys :) > I've also heard that to do a tripple boot with Win NT4.0 and 95 that I > should install FreeBSD first. Is this the case? No, install FreeBSD last. It's not really neccessary, but NT and 95 will ovewrite your MBR if you're not careful, and then you will need to fix it again. You'll have to make sure about the issues involving NT's bootloader and FBSD booteasy as it is something which I have avoided up to now. cheers pierre -- Pierre-Andre van Leeuwen Electronic Engineer Powered By FreeBSD ******************************** * Nanoteq (Pty) Ltd. * * Specialists in data security * * E-mail : pvl@nanoteq.com * * Ph : +27 (0)12 665-1338 * * http://www.nanoteq.co.za * ********************************
