This e-mail was originally sent to "Jordan K. Hubbard"
<jkh@time.cdrom.com>. I have not recieve a reply yet so maybe you guys
can help me out:
I don't know if it was you or another person at freebsd.org, but that
person told me that since I get a Write Error -1 , in order to install
freebsd, I should make my freebsd partition bigger then my dos/win95
partition. Now my question is, how about if I have TWO hard drives.
One hard drive mounted as C: , and the other hard drive as D:. The D:
will have a FREEBSD partition and also a Windows NT partition on it.
How big should my freebsd partition be now? Still bigger then the
Windows NT partition since they are sharing the same hard drive or
bigger then my C: which will have windows 95 and DOS. Please note that
the FREEBSD distrubutions (2.1.5) will be installed from the C drive.
