Hi,

I have reading this newsgrp for a few days as I am or will be moving
over to the Freebsd o/s.

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
