Then, explain why losing win98 would be a bad thing. Serious answer at last, I had win95 on here :-( when I installed FreeBSD, and it worked fine. Since Micro$crew are such tossers, I suspect win98 is identical to win95 but with a new name and a few more bugs thrown in, so it may work from there too. (You'll have to drop down to DOS first though.) Also, I'm not quite sure what you mean by having a partition split into 2 partitions? Do you have two partitions within an extended partition? I'm not sure whether FreeBSD can be installed within an extended partition or not, so you may have to do better than that. -- Ben Smithurst : ben@scientia.demon.co.uk : http://www.scientia.demon.co.uk/ PGP: 0x99392F7D - 3D 89 87 42 CE CA 93 4C 68 32 0E D5 36 05 3D 16 http://www.scientia.demon.co.uk/ben/pgp-key.html (or use keyservers) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
