I'm going to install the March or May snapshots on the following system... 1 disk (first drive) 420 Mbytes (bios is fine) 2nd disk is 1.2 gigabyte (has to use ontrack for dos). I'm using system commander (very happy with it). I need to install a trivial boot slice on the first disk (maybe 40 mbyte?) just to hold a boot system. I want to bulk of the system to be on the second disk (with about a 400 Mbyte slice). Any problems? I installed complete systems on 1 disk before, never split the system across two disks... If I put the whole system on the second disk, do I have to boot from floppy? Is there a way to build a boot floppy so it defaults to wd1? marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Member of the League for Programming Freedom (http://www.lpf.org) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic Arthur C.
