You will have to partition your drive such that Win95 doesn't take up 100% of the space. Reinstall Win95 (I gave it about 150 megs out of 2 gigs but however you see fit) the install FreeBSD. Something to be aware of, though. If your hdd has over 1024 physical tracks, the FreeBSD partition must start somewhere within the first 1024 tracks. Anyway, good luck. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Stephen Spencer gladiatr@sunflower.com - - administrator visit our website for more information - - Sunflower Datavision http://www.sunflower.com - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
