Hi,

I want to install Slack and Freebsd in the same hard drive, I have a 20 gig Maxtor. I do not know how to do it. I tried google site but I could not find information about.

Any help will be deeply appreciated

Thanks

Use a tomsrtbt floppy to create partitions for each installation. Then proceed from there to install them both. You'll need / and swap partitions, at least, for both. Maybe someone who has a system like this will have more to say about which to install first, etc.

You can partition the stuff with Slackware's disks. Disk 1 has fdisk and cfdisk on it. I'm a fan of fdisk though, not too much of cfdisk...
