I'm assuming there is a way. I looked in the FAQ, but nothing jumped out at me. I have a PC on which I run both Windows 95 (don't laugh) and FreeBSD, and whenever I re-install Windows 95, it writes over the boot manager code on the disk. I was looking for a man page, but couldn't find one (mostly because I didn't know what the boot manager's real name was). Any help would be greatly appreciated. - Peter Schwenk, Academic Computing, West Chester University of PA - pschwenk@wcupa.edu
