How would people >here suggest putting 3 OS on two 200M HD ?? Well, I dunno about the BSDs, butt LILO, the Linux Loader, is quite happy having multiple bootable OSes on a disk. I'd probably set up my first hard disk as three primary partitions for the three bootable OSes, and an extended partition containing more partitions to let you flexibly reallocate space from one OS to another. I'd wait on the second disk until I decided what OSes I really wanted to work with. I just set up a friend's old notebook (386SX-16 w/ 4M RAM, 120M HD) with MS-DOS 6+Windows 3.1 and MCC-Interim Linux. Works like a champ. -Bennett bet@sbi.com
