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.
