I hope I'm not abusing this address, but I have a few questions before I
get started installing NetBSD 1.3.2. These may be stupid questions, but
they may end-up helping me a great deal when I finally get around to
putting it all together.
1. If I'm repartioning my hard drive to make way for NetBSD and
all the info on it is obliterated, how am I going to get back into Mac-OS
to restore my hard drive?
2. After NetBSD is completely installed, when I turn on my
computer, which OS will it boot into, NetBSD or Mac-OS? (Your documentation
was a little vague on this one.)
3. Really Stupid Question! : Will I be able to use normal Mac
programs (Microsoft Word, for example) while I am booted in NetBSD?
4. I regularly do work on a Mainframe machine. Will I be able to
tn3270 from NetBSD?
Thanks a lot for your time and answering my completely off the
wall questions. I salute the effort being put into this project and hope
I can be of some assistance sometime in the future. I'm sure you'll hear
a lot from me during the install, but in the meantime, I look forward to
getting your reply.
