First installing Windows 95 (or finding it on the system where to install the new OS) and then installing FreeBSD works. One just has to be careful to only use free disk space (preferably) or now unused dos partitions for installing it. I think if one is used to install FreeBSD that shouldn't be hard. Everything else is like FreeBSD alone. A BIOS MBR virus checker - who might prevent writing the BootManager MBR - should probably be turned off if it all the time gives an awful sound when the MBR gets written. I noticed this is a problem when I did this on a machine with such a BIOS. Every time BootManager tried to record the chosen OS (it will be the default on the next reboot) it got activated. :-( Stefan. -- Stefan Eggers Lu4 yao2 zhi1 ma3 li4, Max-Slevogt-Str. 1 ri4 jiu3 jian4 ren2 xin1. 51109 Koeln Federal Republic of Germany
