I plan on running WinNT and Linux or FreeBSD ( please, no rants on which is better. I'm not really in the mood for a religious war) along with a 300-500mb DOS partition to transfer files between the two (since NT and unix don't like eachothers filesystems). My problem is that I'm not sure about how to partition the drives so that I can boot off all 3 OS's. I'd like to have 2 gigs for NT, a gig for whichever Unix I go with, and maybe a 500mb partion to try messing around with the hurd... Well, thanks in advance for the hundred of replies I'm bound to get. =) -ameoba ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Friends, this is clean-up time and we're discounting all out silent electric Ubiks by this much money.
