subject: Setting up dual boot

It's 11 Aug 97  17:48:02,
We'll return to John Thompson and Kris Steenhaut's
discussion of Setting up dual boot
 KS> Of course. And the Dos systemfiles are wiped outthen . Makes
 KS> no sense to me.
Agreed.  Obviously, they're backed up somewhere, just like what happens
with a Win95 dual boot (which many people accept).
 JT> Why do you think the DOS system files would be "wiped out?"
 JT> Running "BOOT /OS2" and "BOOT /DOS" is the exact procedure for
 JT> running a "dual-boot" system, as described in the OS/2 manual and
 JT> on-line help.
They'd have to exist somewhere after a boot switch, otherwise you'd have
a way to screw up your system _really_ fast! :)
 KS> Besides, why the hell do people prefere dual- boot in
 KS> favour of the bootmanager? Beats me.
 JT> I'm with you there.  I've never understood it myself.  But
 JT> everyone has their own poison, I suppose.
I tend to agree.  I decided on Boot Manager from the time I decided on
installing OS/2.  I haven't regretted that decision. :-)
