Dual boot with XP

[David Larkin]

I'm going to by a laptop with wondoze XP pre installed soon.

The machine will have one IDE disk.

Am I right in thinking that I can install FreeBSD also without having to re-install XP ?

I"ve searched the mailing list and found info on how to achieve dual boot with multiple disks< but how do i go about this, which I guess is a common task ?

Is there a tutorial out there in cyberspace somewhere ????

Thanks
David
