Chip, I'd recommend just continue to use PM. One word of caution, don't use PM on a drive that uses overlay. I've done this without realizing it and it resulted in severe part table scramble (1 partition began before the previous 1 ended).
If you are going to be at the next LUG meeting on the 10th ( I believe ), and you can wait that long, I will bring my copy for you to use. ( I've never installed it onto a drive and I only use it from the CD so this should be completely legal if any license Nazis are monitoring) -Lee On Thu, Apr 03, 2003 at 10:03:08AM +0000, Chip Davis wrote: > I just bought a new ThinkPad T30 which came with WindowsXP Pro installed. > Before I can install any OSes I trust (OS/2 Warp/EcomStation, RHL 9) I > need to curb XP's hegemony over the 60G disk.
