Hi Linda,

Then life is going to be MUCH easier for you......;-)

Yes, use Partition Magic to free up the first Cylinder of your Boot Disk and
when you install OS/2, select the ADVANCED install. This will allow you to put 
Boot Manager in the space yo ufreed up AND specify your D drive as the place
you want OS/2 installed.

 LP> If I got the Blue flavour, would that mean that I wouldn't have to have

Thats right, BLUE pack contains Windows WITHIN OS/2, RED pack allows an
existing Windows 3.1 environment to be run from within OS/2. I ALWAYS used the 
BLUE version, the RED version is too easy to corrupt.

Cheers..........pk.
