Callis) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: Boot question Date: 6 Jun 1993 11:17:18 GMT Organization: University of San Francisco Lines: 28 Message-ID: <1usjnu$jm2@noc.usfca.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: noc.usfca.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL0] I am making the switch from Linux to 386BSD... I want to know two things...Actually three! 1.) Does 386BSD have to initially occupy the first physical boot HD on my system, or can I place it on another HD and have a boot-time loader (ala LILO for Linux) start it up. 2.) For those who have used Linux, are the networking features of 386BSD better? I have for the longest time attempted to tie into our campus network, with no success... 3.) Also for those who have previously used Linux, or even currently use linux, which is the better system, and could I possibly get a pro/con-compare/contrast of the two rather than a simply one liner... Thanks...Since I know this is probably an old topic, please e-mail me. -- ******************************************************************* * Kim C.
