I have a computer with OS2 and two versions of linux on it. I am preety good with Linux but have a few questions about BSD. 1. Do you make both a root and swap pation with bsd? With linux I make the partions ahead of time with my OS2 fdisk and just label them with the linux fdisk. Can I do this with the free BSd install? 2. I usually put lilo the linux boot manager on the root partion and add that partion to the OS2 boot manager and boot linux from it. Can I do this also with BSD? Thanks Alot -- Rick Knebel rknebel@postoffice.ptd.net
