My problem is: My system is a Pentium 166, 32mb and 1.2 hdd, running W95, thinking of ungrading to 2,5gb. I would like to install Freebsd and W95 and have a dual boot. Do I, 1) Get a new hhd, and have a partion of about 500mb for W95 and the rest for Freebsd. 2) Partion the old hdd with something like partion magic and have about half the hdd space for each o/s. 3) Get the new hdd and have it as a second one, re-install W95 and have Freebsd on the second drive. Thanx for ya help guys Kevin
