I would like : to know is it possible to use DOS C: partition to boot unix that will be on E : partition. Or how it goes? Should I boot into unix and then go to DOS : (that would be too complicated since I use DOS a lot for developement... : programs crash etc.. I have to boot often). DOS and Unix will reside in different partitions on the harddisk. There are boot utilities available that allow you to choose DOS or Unix at boot time. Running Unix on something like DOS partition e: isn't possible. -- Andreas Klemm /\/\____ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH andreas@knobel.knirsch.de ___/\/\/ andreas@wupmon.wup.de (Unix Support)
