Can I use LILO to load FreeBSD booter? : : Where can I find details on how to network them together? hmm.. not sure about the LILO thing but there's certainly some way to get them all onto one box. You need to be kinda careful with the WinNt install since I think it has a weird loader. As for networking, yes. If you have several machines you can network them together. You'll probably want a few ethernet cards and a hub. then you can just use the TCP/IP features of each to set up a local network. There's plenty of books you can get that describe the details of this so I won't go into it. If you're looking to use the network neighborhood under windows you can get a package called Samba for FreeBSD and/or Linux (and/or NetBSD if you want another OS to run) which allows the unix machines to be servers. eric haszlaki@uiuc.edu
