RY> I take that you have installed Linux.



I had it installed for a while, but do to lack of disk space it got
deleted. I've now got more disk space, so I installed it again a couple of
months ago. Unfortunately, whenever I booted it, it wiped out the setting
on my SCSI controller which meant that one of my hard disks wasn't
recognised during boot up and hence I couldn't boot OS/2 without going in
and reconfiguring the card. Needless to say, it's no longer on my system.

You'll have to create a separate partition for Linux. Since it uses its own
filing system, neither MS-DOS nor OS/2 can recognise the partition.



As I said, if you go to make the partition bootable, Linux will change the
master boot record and Boot Manager won't get control. I don't know if
there's anyway to get it to live happily with Boot Manager or whether
you've just got to live with this restriction. The version I have is a at
least 12 months old, so the newer versions may be better in this regard.



 RY> Besides dumping Dos or OS/2, that is.



I wouldn't suggest either :-)
