I am just about to put either FreeBSD or Linux on my DX66, and have
it share space with OS/2 and a small DOS partition.

I recall reading posted notes saying that Linux and OS/2 are workable (as
long as LILO sits 'beneath' the Boot Manager os OS/2.) 

Do FreeBSD or Linux need to be on one of the 4 possible main partitions,
or would either settle for a logical drive under D: or E:  ?

Please send comments on your experiences, and possible solutions, to this
address:     s657134@aix2.uottawa.ca	OR	ao826@freenet.carleton.ca

I'm particularly interested in comments from anyone who has OS/2 and
FreeBSD installed; as I have been lucky enough to have read a number of
comments on Linux/OS2 compatibility and coexistence.

Thanks much,

Sincerely,
