Actually, WARP can be installed on any partition that falls within the
524 MB limitation inherent in most IDE type setups.

I have WARP installed in extended drive F: and Boot Manager at the very
end of my 524 MB (usable) HD.

I helped my son set up his new computer with a 1 gig drive. Because one
of the OSs he wanted to run was Sun Solaris, we set his HD up with two
primary partitions. Then we took one primary partition, set that up with
3 partitions (C: D: E:), installed DOS/WIN on C:, WARP on E:, and used
D: for applications.

It all worked out well, keeping Solaris and the DOS/WIN, WARP sections
totally separated from each other.

Regards,

Stu Davis
