Re: CRUX and FREE BSD
Hi Ramu cc questions@ I have to make CRUX and FREE BSD dual boot. Is that possible? how can i do that?? I have CRUX installed before. I wrote some notes here: http://berklix.com/~jhs/txt/install_bsd.html Hope it may help you or similar enquirers. I dont see anything about this in the handbook, (that is, shrinking the other OS before installing BSD) although the topic doesnt strictly belong to FreeBSD, it would help converts if we had something added I think. Corrections/ Additions etc welcome. Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultants Munich http://berklix.com Mail plain text; Not quoted-printable, Not HTML, Not base 64.

Corrections/ Additions etc welcome. The reason for shrinking it is to make room for the additional OS (FreeBSD). I assumed the original poster had allocated all space to the other Crux OS. In case that might not be true for someone, some time, I added a para. near top of page: If Fdisk shows you have enough unused space on your boot disk to install a BSD partition, do it, no need to read more of this page. If you don't have enough space, read on. If you plan to use an additional disk or if you left room untouched on the existing disk, you can use that and not do any shrinking. I never played with CRUX and so I don't know how standard it is when handling disk and/or booting, but have posted many a long tome on how to do all of this.You might try looking in the archives - probably at least a couple of years ago was the last one. Look for phrases like dual boot. jerry I added One can a href=http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html#mailinglistsSearch/A, or a href=http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/ Browse /A for Dual Boot etc, in questi...@freebsd.org archive. , eg a a href=http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-February/142300.html2007 Sample/A.

Oh yet another Linux, is that all ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRUX Lightweight, i686-optimized GNU/Linux distribution targeted at experienced GNU/Linux users and delivered by a tar.gz-based package system with BSD-style initscripts. It also utilizes a ports system to install and upgrade applications. ... CRUX, unlike other GNU/Linux distributions, doesn't include a GUI installation program. Instead, the user boots the kernel stored on either a CD or diskette; partitions the hard disk drive(s) to which the operating system will be installed (using a program such as fdisk So There's your answer, type: man fdisk Then think how much disk you have, if you a spare, how your going to shrink partitions maybe, repartition, cross mount. Which depends on your hardware Unix skill level. If you get really stuck, back up your CRUX to other media. Reinstall eithe CRUX or BSD, making sure neither OS takes all the disc, leaving room for the other OS later .. then restore CRUX data into CRUX partition.

Linux is always disappointing and you'll learn much more from using a proper UNIX system. ___ 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
