I am new to this newsgroup.....New to *BSD as well. I have used Linux and
Unix a bit and have heard in discussion dual booting linux and windows.

I am not 100% what dual boot is but I think it is loading Linux then booting
Windows from Linux or whatever OS you want. Correct me if I am wrong please.

I was wondering if I could do this with BSD (dual boot that is) as I want to
start working with one of the other flavours of OS besides Windows, but I
need to keep windows so others can still use it.

Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks

Usually dualboot means that you have two or more OSes on your machine
and you have the choice which one you want to boot when you start
the computer.

Thanks....wasn't too sure if it meant one boots then you can choose the
other or if you choose at the beginning which OS to load.

Maybe vmware is the thing you need,

http://www.vmware.com

Anyway, I have no experience with it, so I hardly can help you
with that.

Maybe google tells you more about running OpenBSD within vmware.
