I think perhaps it /is/ time to start looking seriously at this option. I have deep dislike for "Choose your boot floppy from these 23,456 possibilities, each of which is guaranteed to have 95% of the drivers you need for your hardware, but not the other 5%" type methodology. On the other hand, 2 or even 3 clean divisions like that could make things a lot easier to fit, and remain easy to use. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd_at_over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet"Received on Sun May 04 2003 - 14:16:20 UTC
