I bought a P166 (16 MB ram, 2 Gb disk) with Windows 95 already
installed. Is the process for adding FreeBSD going to be any
different from what the web page/handbook description?  My
system doesn't have a c:\windows or \dos directory, I don't
think and it might not have fips. (It's at home and I'm at
work, so I can't check.)

The Windows 95 newsgroups recommend using Partition Magic
<http://www.powerquest.com/>  for repartitioning a Win95 disk.
Anybody tried this and then installed FreeBSD?

Thanks!

later, david
