Speaking of boot drive, altho 056 wouldn't install where I wanted it it
went right ahead and installed when I told to go ahead and put it where
_IT_ wanted to put it.  Of course I went back to a backup of the boot
partition.

Well, I had better make a new backup of that partition.

This is interesting.  I had no trouble at all putting 3.0 on my system
and I still have 2.xx on it.  I believe there's a helluvalotta
difference from one machine to another.

Unimaint plus Cleanini.  Unimaint cleans out major problem stuff. 
Cleanini gets a bunch of stuff Unimaint seems to think is unimportant
trash.  I want neither major problems nor trash so I use both.  Since I
started that regularly I've had far fewer stupid -problems popping up.

OK

Can't exactly do that.  It only lists e:.

Two directories of what kind?  The 056 installer complained about not
finding several things until I let it install on C:.  Are these
directories inside or outside the ADC directory itself.  I have a
CDR2_0_0 from the somewhere/sometime attempts to install CDRecord a
couple years ago.  The installer complained about not finding CDR2_0
(yes, with only 1 zero).  I have no CDBurn directory.
