A friend (who is a sys adm) told me I can only install BSD on my primary DOS
partition. Now I want to put it on the extended partition of my salve hard
drive because I don't want to delete the stuff on my primary partition.
Can I install BSD in the extended DOS partition? What special attention
should I pay to? FreeBSD guru plase help me because I don't want to screw
up my win95 again. Thanks.
