I was able to successfully install FreeBSD 4.8 on my laptop (Presario 1600) 
last night. Unfortunately, my Win98 isn't happy sharing, even though I gave 
it most of the disk space on the 30 gig hard drive.

lol! I have to learn how to be quicker in making the windows bootup screen 
not show up (it covers the selection of dos/bsd.) I got totally frustrated 
last night and ended up turning off the darned thing when I rebooted about 
6 times and it still insisted on booting into windows. The first few 
reboots weren't any trouble (initializing the wireless network card took a 
few attempts and I still haven't gotten it right. Got a number/letter wrong 
somewhere, I'm sure) but after about the 4th try, it just starting booting 
into windows even when I pressed the F2 key.

I'll mess with it tonight, figure out what's going one ;)
