================================================ Subject: Re: -- Keith or Kevin??? From: "King_Dovregubben" To: Date: Mon 20 Aug 2001 18:17:38 -0700 ================================================ It's not a smart thing to do as most applications want to be in "c:\program files", this means that they can overwrite each other from time to time, if you watch that, then there shouldn't be a problem. Configuration and such is no problem. I'm running Win98SE and Win2K dual boot in the same partition specifically for the legacy app problems, I installed Win2k very early. Now that all the drivers are out, I don't need the Win98 install. When WinXP comes out, I'll wipe the whole damn thing and install just WinXP. I'll upgrade both of my other nmachines on the network as well and probably go to NTFS. > -----Original Message----- > From: Creed - 7M3 - Live [mailto:creed7m3live@columbus.rr.com] > Sent: Monday, August 20, 2001 2:39 PM > To: King_Dovregubben > Cc: CREED-DISCUSS@WINDUPLIST.COM > Subject: Re: -- Keith or Kevin??? > > > Thanks KD, > > I was wondering about the file system that you could use. > > If you dual boot, using the same partition.
