I have a P166 which I will be upgrading to K6 233 MHZ w/MMX within the month. I need to know, Can I have it simply boot to a different drive rather than needing to partition my C drive. I currently have two drives, a 2.1 Gig C drive, and a 4 Gig D/E drive that have been divided into two with fdisk. Is it possible to not harm Windows95/dos 6.22/ windows3.1? I have System commander but not a lot of money. I need something that is either preferably shareware or a way to install it to one of the 2 partitioned sections of my 4 gigger. I have hardly anything on those two partitions so I would not have a problem, but the information on my C drive is far to valuable to just have "written over". Any help you could give me would be great, I really want to try unix and see if it's for me and any help would definately be appreciated.
