Hi MIKE!

Thus quoth MIKE RUSKAI to LINDA PROULX:

 MR> There's no such partition status as "installable".  That's just a
 MR> word used by the OS/2 installation program.  What is in fact
 MR> happening when you set a partition as "installable" is nothing.  No
 MR> changes to the partition are made.  Nothing is written to disk. 

Not true. With Bootmanager installed, each partition *has* a status. For
logical drives it is stored in the partition table sector at offset 18Ah. Bit
2 is the 'installable' state.

bye, Dani
