Hello there.. first off, I'd like to ask the following... would it be practical to use FreeBSD on my home pc? what can I use it for? Currently, I am using ms-dos ver. 6.2 with win 3.1... I read thru some of your docs on how to install the program and such, but it confuses me! I know a bit about unix, so, some of it was familiar, but not all... the only thing I could figure out how to do was to download two exe files.. one for a setup disk, and one to partition my hd? that's another problem. I have two hard disks.. my first (drive c) is 131 megs, with 80 megs free, and my second is a 730 meg, that has to have a driver loaded into mem for it to work. what I would LIKE to possibly be able to do is to put BSD on my d drive.. how could I do that? last time I did something like that (installing mini linux on my d drive) the drive crashed and I had to format? could you help me out? thanks.. also, if I install it, can I have a sort of dual boot feature so I can still use dos and win 3.1? thanks.. could you reply asap? and I can't figure out how download the program itself!
