- I don't have the exact information in front of me now, but in the
- volume 3 redbook, it tells you how to move the spooler directory to a
- different location and I believe rename it if you wish. If you don't
- have the redbooks yet, get them. If you don't want to wait for them,
- email me and I'll look it up for you.

- I would have to say here that OS/2 is a lot more orderly than dos and
- windows when it comes to this. It seems everything under them wants
- to install off the root.
