I just happen to have an extra 300 meg partition on my hard drive and I'm
considering installing FreeBSD on it. I currently run both Linux and
will soon have OS/2 running (The reason I don't have os/2 running now is
Microsoft's fault but that's another story for another newsgroup).
Here are my questions.
What filesystems does FreeBSD support?
Does it support the Linux Second Extended?
Does it support OS/2 HPFS?
What is it's 'native' filesystem type?
I know the anwaser to this is probably know but...
Can FreeBSD run Linux binaries (ELF or a.out)?
How much space to I need for a FreeBSD installation including compilers and
XFree86?
Does FreeBSD have to be on the first partition of the first hard disk?
The partition I have open is the second one on the first disk.
Thanks,
Nate
