Date: 5 Aug 1994 20:56:50 GMT Organization: International Computer Science Institute, Berkeley, CA, U.S.A. Lines: 17 Distribution: world Message-ID: <31u92i$e6n@agate.berkeley.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: icsib29.icsi.berkeley.edu Keywords: FreeBSD external HDD parallel I have a laptop with a 200MB harddisk. Since I want to run X, I wonder if I can install FreeBSD and X on an external 340 MB Harddrive via the parallel port and keep DOS/WINDOWS on the internal drive. Can anyone tell me if this will work? Could I plug that drive to another PC and run FreeBSD there with no further actions? thanks for help, Johannes ,---------------------------------------------------------------------. | Johannes Faerber __o 1563 Archstreet | | faerber@icsi.berkeley.edu _`\<;_ Berkeley, CA 94708 | | johannes@lkn.e-technik.tu-muenchen.de (_)/ (_) (510) 848-5332 | `---------------------------------------------------------------------'
