Hi! I am just getting a PC (at last!) and I want to install BSD as well as
keeping windows on the system. I know fairly little about partitions, etc on a
PC. :( I would be willing to switch to OS/2 if I needed to, but I have heard
of something called a boot manager that would help. Is there any text file
somewhere that I could grab a copy of that describes how to install BSD without
making your computer a total BSD computer?
Also, the computer I'm getting will have the new Diamond Viper VLB video card.
Is there a driver somewhere that will allow me to use this with XFree86? It
uses the Power 9000 chip if that is any help. Anyway, I would be sincerely
grateful for any help that I could get. Thank you!
