Before I spend the money purchase the book (with the four CD's) would like to know just a couple of things about the install process. I currently have OS/2 and Windows 98 on my computer with IBM's boot manager doing the OS selection. If I want to add this to the configuration, will it work if I use Partition It (or something like that) to create another partition, then set that partition as installable and bootup from a floppy into the new C: partition. I don't want the hassle of having to try to restore my system from backup because I screwed it up.
