I have downloaded the 6.1rc1 iso. I dont mind downloading the release
candidate compared to the mainstream because i have been using linux
for about 4 months and know my way around.
  I have to do the following,
      1) install freebsd(on a UFS file system) and dual  boot it with
windows XP(on fat32 not ntfs). Can freebsd bootmanager do  this by
itself??
      2) I use an adsl modem though ethernet card, i used to set it up
as eth0 in linux.
  It requires no password or user name.
  How do i do this in freebsd.
      Also is there a journalized filesystem and locate command in
freebsd??
  Regards
  Ashok


The FreeBSD boot manager works great, it will automagicly detect your partitions and allow you to boot them.

Does you ADSL modem act as router?

Locate works the same as in Linux:
Update you database, type:
periodic weekly
to update it
them just type locate foobar
Also take a look at /etc/locate.rc
