Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi there, Before I install FreeBSD I would like to know what the best method is to install from an anon ftp site. My HD current config is as follows... 204Mb C: 995Mb D: E: F: G: (4 Partitions) I've got WIN95(unfortunately) on 'C:' and no booters on the rest. If I install using the boot.flp floppy onto 'D:' will this mess up drive's original partitions and kill all my data on the D,E,F & G drives? ...waiting to port to UNIX, -MATT!- .-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------. | Matthew R Brown | HOLD ON... | | P.O.
