Whose on Second?<br>> et cetera.<br>> ;-)<br>> <br>> FINALLY, getting around to installing OpSyses onto my<br>> "new" computer. I'm intending to have:<br>> <br>> Bootmanager (Primary, first drive)<br>> <br>> Either, DR/Novell DOS (32MB or 128MB Max) OR <br>> Win99 (w/ its MS-DOS "8"; 512MB max, Primary C:)<br>> I might SKIP this entirely - in light of the Win NT 5 or 6<br>> that comes later;<br>> <br>> IBM Warp 4 FxPak 15 (because I know it well enough to<br>> figure out glitches from the new Hw,<br>> it's the easiest one (for me!)
to install of the<br>> OS/2-eCS versions I have,<br>> AND to see how FAST it goes on this new hardware), (512MB,<br>> ?Which volume is to be later deleted and its space<br>> ("Partition Magic-ally"?) combined with an / the<br>> eCS volume?)<br>> <br>> One (or Three?) eCS volumes. I've got copies of eCS<br>> 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 - I think! (No 1.2R - yet!)<br>> I may / could replace<br>> one, with the next, with the next?? That way I'd need<br>> only one partition / volume. BUT any one of these REQUIRE<br>> that NEW (to me!) way of "partition"ing one's<br>> hard disk drive (HDD): LVM.<br>> (512MB --> 2,048MB required minimum plus swap w/ spare<br>> space PER installation volume)<br>> <br>> Lastly, for OSes, a Win2K (or WinXP) volume just to<br>> "foul up" the system ;-) . (NTFS, 8 - 15 GB s)<br>> <br>> ALL OS/2-eCS volumes are to be HPFS (NO JFS, etc.!)<br>> Programs and Data are to be
in separate volumes from their<br>> OSes - EXCEPT for the MS-Win stuff which practically<br>> REQUIRES them to be on the same volume. Hence the very large<br>> NTFS volume.<br>> <br>> <br>> For Hw, I've got an AHA-29160N controller with four IBM<br>> Ultrastar 18GB U160 HDDs with a fifth spare. (SCSI IDs =<br>> 0,1,2,3) There are two compact optical disc (COD) drives: a<br>> Toshiba SD-M1401 (10xV, 40xA) RO-DVDD (SCSI ID = 4) and a<br>> Plextor PX-1210S 12x 10x 20x RW-DADD (SCSI ID = 5). Residing<br>> in the case but NOT connected is an<br>> old HP 2(4C)GB tape drive (SCSI ID = 6). Available to me<br>> is a third COD which is a Toshiba XM-6401 (40x) RO-DADD. <br>> (Cf. seperate letter already to follow; "Already A<br>> Boot Problem")<br>> <br>> My guesses are:<br>> First, Install Boot Manager on first HDD (SCSI ID = 0);<br>> Second, Create a Primary "DOS" partition on first<br>>
HDD;<br>> Third, Create extended partition on first HDD<br>> <br>> THEN - I'm stumped.<br>> Warp 4 into a Primary on second HDD?<br>> OR<br>> Win 2K on rest of first HDD?<br>> Win2K onto Primary on second HDD?<br>> Which comes first: WinNT or Warp 4 - OR eCS?<br>> <br>> When installing eCS, HOW do I LVM so that<br>> "previously" installed OSes are still available?<br>> <br>> DOES it 'mess them up' - or not?<br>> <br>> <br>> Sincerely,<br>> <br>> Thomas Clayton<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Discussion mailing list<br>> <a ymailto="mailto:Discussion@lists.possi.org" href="/mc/compose?to=Discussion@lists.possi.org">Discussion@lists.possi.org</a><br>> <a href="http://lists.possi.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion" target="_blank">http://lists.possi.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion</a><br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>>
