	I have a laptop, that Iuse every day at work. It has 3.o (from the CD)
	on it, and Win95, WinNT using Booteasy, which then calls the NT boot
	manager.

	I also have another laptop runing 3.1 (from the CD). Based upon all the
	discussion in this list, I feel that I need to upgrade the 3.0 machine
	to 3.1, Howver, I am _very_ concerned about various (little understtood
	by me) boot issues, that have been discused here. 

	What should I do to upgrade this amchine, with minimal risk of it not
	working?

	I will be happy to provide more details of the machines configuration,
	but I have doen so twice before in this list, and have recieved only 1
	reply. That person sugested making ceratin I had a bootable disk!.
	Doesn't sound very encouragin.

	Is Booteasy depricated? Did this ocure between 3.0 and 3.1? Whats the
	deal with the new boot blocks, and when did the change come about.

	Thansk for your time on this.
