No problem, it helped more than you know.
I like UNIX OS' and before I got my Shuttle
I was dual booting Win98 & FreeBSD. I got the
Shuttle because I'm a gamer and go to LAN parties
from time to time. After I got the Shuttle I tried
the same setup: dual boot Win98 & FreeBSD on two
20G hard drives. FreeBSD 4.8 didn't recognize all
of the hardware but most importantly the integrated
NIC so I couldn't upgrade it after getting it installed.
I was without FreeBSD for over a month until now! I
bought a WD 40G hard drive and a Samsung CDRW/DVD
player, downloaded & burned a copy of FreeBSD 5.1,
formatted the drive, installed Win98 on the first 20G
partition and fbsd on the second. FreeBSD 5.1 recognized
ALL the hardware except for the integrated NIC. Nvidia
already makes the video drivers for FreeBSD but I'll have
to wait until they come out with the Nforce drivers that
include support for the integrated NIC. The only reason
I still keep Win98 around is for the games, I rely on
FreeBSD for (email, web browsing, etc) the rest.
That was probably more than you needed to know but I
thought I'd toss it out there anyway.
