I have found out that the little netbook I use for learning about FreeBSD is capable (in theory at least) of running Windows 10. I am going to upgrade the RAM (to 2GB!) and add a larger HDD and give it a go but I am happy with the way I have FreeBSD set up so I would prefer to clone my current...

Hi, I recently installed FreeBSD in my computer from the scratch, the whole was formatted from the installer with no stripes and no redundancy. Is there a way to create a partition, lets say 40-50 gigs, and install linux there as well? Thanks in advance!
