Not a chance- why do you think you have to install Window$ first? Gates and his cronies aren't going to make it easy for you to install free software, and so they make it as hard as possible hoping you'll install Window$ and give up. I haven't heard of anywhere that any of the freeloaders (pardon the pun) that can boot a M$ system- only paid for software like Bootmagic. Or use the M$ loader in window$ to boot other systems- strange that it should be able to do that, but then most of the OSS is KISS based rather than the rigmarole M$ go to. Again, I could be outdated and/or wrong on this, but I doubt it has changed. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
