I finally got something working (not FreeBSD, but RedHat Linux 3.0.3). I now have C: 300 Primary Linux C: 100 Primary Warp 3 D: 100 Extended Warp 4 (hopefully it will fit in 100 megs) E: ... F: ... I think that now I may be able to install FreeBSD on the first Primary partition, then perhaps create another partition on F or G to give FreeBSD some more room... this is where I run into problems, trying to create a Primary partition beyond the 1024 limit, but as I understand it, FreeBSD can only see Primary partitions? -- Phil Crown pcrown@airmail.net http://web2.airmail.net/pcrown/
