Hi...
I know NOTHING about UNIX, and i am running a clone Cyrix P120 with two IDE
hard drives, a Sound Blaster, Adaptec SCSI Card, CDROM, Colorado T100 tape
drive (on the floppy controller), ethernet card and Win 95.

I would like to try to install FreeBSD or Linux, but would like any
pointers on what will need to be done. Do I have to create a special
partition for FreeBSD (I guess I would have to)? What would be a  minimum
partition size do "play" with FreeBSD?

Thanks for any tips
D
