I've got it installed on a drive with lots of room.  But I'm also wondering 
about a couple of things,  one being the optimum setup for that new drive and 
how big I want to make a maintenance partition on that,  the other being 
whether it's practical to install Warp on the original drive in that 386 
machine (an 85M Conner) and allowing it to get at what else it needs to get 
at over the network.
The install I did was a matter of stuffing *everything* in there, since space 
wasn't a problem for me,  the other stuff I'm looking at here is going to be 
much more of a bare-bones approach.
