Niels Kristian Bech Jensen, nkbj@image.dk

v1.1, 3 October 1997


This document describes how to use Linux and FreeBSD on the same system. It introduces FreeBSD and discuss how the two operating systems can interact, e.g. by sharing swap space. You should probably have some experience with Linux and hard drive partitioning (fdisk) before you read this document. Do not hesitate to mail me if you have comments, questions or suggestions about this document. I would also like to hear from people who have experience using Linux together with NetBSD or OpenBSD.

1. What is FreeBSD?

2. The FreeBSD way of labelling hard drives

3. Sharing swap space between Linux and FreeBSD

4. Booting FreeBSD using LILO

5. Mounting file systems

6. Running Linux binaries under FreeBSD

7. References and other documents of interest

8. Acknowledgments and Copyright
