This weekend, I decided to install both FreeBSD 5.3 and Windows 2000 on a new laptop hard drive. I’m writing these notes to keep track of the little tweaks needed to get the system running as I want it to run. I usually forget some item in the boot loader or some configuration script, neither of which are found in /home. I am glad to be using bash3 and not bash2, as I noticed an infrequent problem with bash2 core dumping if I tried to cancel an operation and then scroll back through the command history.”]
