Date: 17 Apr 1996 09:46:47 -0500 Organization: interQuest / Huntsville, AL Lines: 23 Distribution: world Message-ID: <4l308n$ikv@vespucci.iquest.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: vespucci.iquest.com Could someone please provide help on installing FreeBSD on a PC running Windows 95 so that both could co-exist on the C: drive? Is it possible without adding a partition? If I need to add a partition, can I do so "non-destructively" with something called FIPS? Is there a FAQ? Is there a good book recommendation?? Here are some specs on my system: Model: Gateway 2000 P5-60 CPU: Pentium 60MHZ Motherboard: 586PCI4 Memory: 8 MB RAM Hard Drive: 730 MB IDE (~290 MB Free) CDROM: NEC 2x Sound Card: SoundBlaster 16 Video Card: STB 1MB CL5430 Modem: Telepath II 14.4 Fax/Modem Any help would be appreciated. I don't even want to attempt it unless I can be assured that I won't lose my Windows 95 and data in the process!! Thanks, Todd Stevens tstevens@iquest.com
