Heres some backround info on the system: There are 2 primary dos partitions, one for 6.22, one for Windoze 95. Then I got a chunk of unused space for FreeBSD totalling about 80 MB or so.... BTW, I read the faq and nothing seemed to clarify..... Any help would be appreciated, via email and/or followups... Thanks In Advance, -Mike Capone
