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,
