I would still like to be able to use both through a > dual boot or something similar. Is this possible? Definitely since this is exactly the setup I do have. Preferably begin with W95 since otherwise it'd hapilly overwrite the boot selector that FreeBSD installs. In case this happens take a close look at the tools directory on the BSD-CD which contains some programs that will help then. I had some trouble with the default boot selector (BootEasy) so I installed os-bs which works just fine. Greetings, Ripley -- H.
