During the FBSD install it = will show you the primary hard drive. If the dos partition is on the = primary HD you will have to use commands from the screen that displays = the HD, to delete the DOS partition and allocate the FBSD slice to that = free space. =20 Isn't it possible to use the space in the DOS partition for FBSD,I = dont mind formatting it as 165(the FBSD filesystem),i just don't know = how to allocate space on my hard-disk for freebsd is this = possible(keeping my Windows primary partition which stores = Windows......)......and if possible how? I've already installed = Linux(Red-hat,mandrake,suse)and I was thinking on those lines where you = can ask Linux to use a particular partition for it and then format it to = ext2 and run Linux.......Is something like this possible thro' Fbsd?
