I just did a dual boot setup with XP and 5.2. I chose none intentionally, installed FreeBSD, then as I was rebooting, put in my GAG disk and installed GAG as my boot loader. It found both my FreeBSD partition and my XP partitions. I set it up, and I can safely boot into either o/s fairly easily. Gag is available on sourceforge. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
