Looking for tips on how two install Win95 on FreeBSD system?

Post by Dave Hodg » Mon, 23 Jun 1997 04:00:00



Could anyone tell me where I might be able to find good documentation on
how to install Win95 on my FreeBSD system. This is so that I can access
95 via FreeBSD's dual boot manager. Any Tips will be appreicated also.

Thank Much

You "just do it". Be forewarned that 95 *will* overwrite your boot
sector (hence, booteasy). Make sure you have a boot disk around so you
can fix things.
The only way I've found to reinstall booteasy after adding 95 is to boot
into the install program, go through the novice install (just hit 'q' at
the partitioning screen so that nothing's changed), choose booteasy like
you originally did, and then ctrl-c out of the install after that.
It's *far* easier to install 95 first and then add FBSD.
I make no guarantees that this procedure will work for you and won't
*things up- but I've done it several times w/o a problem.
I've also had very * things happen under System Commander- I'd
advise you to stay FAR away from it.

Good luck.

Oh lord, what have happened to this poor soul? Win95??? Nobody have any use for

1. Installing FreeBSD on Win95 system (no pre-existing unix OS present)

Can someone explain how to install XFree86 3.2 release on a Win95
system - there is no pre-existing Unix OS on the system, and the
documentation that comes with the binaries seems to assume it is
instaling over an existing version.  I am unable to run any of the
commands to install XFree.  I have managed to unpack the files and
copied them to a new partition set up for the purpose  i.e.

d:\usr\X11R6   ...etc., but that's where I'm stuck.  Have I approached
this completely the wrong way?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanx in advance,  JM.
