IIRC, what happened was that Java, which absolutely requires longname
support, became a non-optional part of a default install, thus giving
"dual boot" the kiss of death. LVMGUI.CMD requires Java. My guess is
that a die hard could do a manual install to FAT, but would have to use
some files off Warp to do the active OS switching.
