Hey Friends..I individual installed chapeau 7.0 to my laptop and for building utility I mortal to formatting it and pose freeBSD. Can anyone delight inform me how i split fedora ? since i can't just go to bio and delete the partitioning same windows anymore....I download freeBSD from the internet with added pc... should i produce it to CDR and rush from this plough after formating my trilby?

You don't penury to split your round preceding to installing FreeBSD. The installer allows you to run fdisk, which you can use to repartition your platter. After doing so, the installer instrument separate the partitions you created and give reduplicate the operating group onto them.

I got the freeBSD iso from the net, i basically unzip the iso line and duplicate everything into the CDR. When I put the CDR to my laptop, it doesn't blow up to the CD. I don't flatbottomed pair how to modification the grouping to boot from cdrom in my hat scheme. (I am pretty new to linux) so i belike don't fuck the prissy freeBSD installing CD??? So if i got the appropriate freeBSD CD, it testament pop up the fdisk windows? Maybe all i condition to copulate now is how to rush my hat from the CDROM... delight improve.

Thanks..

i fundamentally unzip the iso file and duplicate everything into the CDR.You're not fervent it correctly, then. You impoverishment a primary iso perfervid schedule which give hurting the iso as an someone onto the CD. The CD software that came with your machine belike has this susceptibility, but if it doesn't, you can use the freely availablehe separate thing you may soul to do is modify your BIOS to vary the flush anteriority. It's affirmable that your rocklike mean has higher anteriority than your CD ROM push, and your computer is only ignoring any turn you put in, irrespective of whether it's bootable or not.

ok, i score successfully cooked the freeBSD cd and varied the resuscitate film of my laptop.I now can revive to the freeBSD cd... fdisk and place it. Nevertheless, when i was at the step to set up the DHCP.. it asks for the "server analyze " and "land cant" "ipv4" and "gateway" .... what would they be? I am using comcast at habitation. the laptop i am commencement freeBSD has wireless aptitude.I also successfully installed win vista to the unvaried laptop but seems same the wireless is not working. It entirety before without the freeBSD installed.sorry, that's lotz of questions.

thanks a lot.

Thanks..i don't bonk how your base system is set up, and I don't couple the details of conjunctive a computer to Comcast, but since you mentioned you're on wireless, I'm forward a internet -> router -> laptop material falsehood.Worthless, I'm not advantageously versed with Windows Vista. All I can say is that multi-booting operating systems in broad don't move apiece different, and as such, I highly uncertainty FreeBSD is to cursed.
