Since I am currently running Windows 95 Release 2, with FAT32 tables, what is the best way to install FreeBSD? I am thinking about installing it onto a different hard drive and use it that way, but can't afford to buy another hard drive currently. Are there any tips or anything I should watch out for when installing FreeBSD? I am unfamiliar with Unix and have grown very tired of Microsoft's crash and reload operating system. System: Intel P133, Intel Triton II motherboard with 256k cahce, 64mb edo ram, 1.6gb hard drive, Fijitsu 12x IDE cd-rom, Ditto 3200mb tape backup, IOmega Zip 100mb drive, IBM ADF color scanner, and USR Courier X.2 external modem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Mark Knipfer * mailto:adam@one.net * http://w3.one.net/~adam - ------------------------------------------------------------------------
