Is there any way I can use the 500 free megs on my new (1 gig) hard 
drive to set up freebsd, without deleting the extended dos partition 
already set up to run win95?  I guess the whole thing is partitioned to 
run windows, but fips won't touch it because it's extended.. Any 
suggestions?

Aaro
short of deleting the entire existing partition?
