FreeBSD on a Win2000 partition (was: Re: Please answer back)

Hi,

Not directly, but if you have some space on your hard drive left, you can
shrink your Windows 2000 and install FreeBSD then. They will happily
co-exist, and there is a menu at the startup which allows you to choose
the OS to be booted.

Unfortunately, I do not know of a free program that can shrink NTFS
partitions, so you will probably need Partition Magic or some other
commercial product.

Regards,
 Simon
 
P.S. Please use a more better ``subject'' next time - many people will
skip messages with non-descriptive subject lines immediately.
