- The WB 2.0 update for DM is unprotected, and can be installed on HD using a
- floppy-on-HD utility. However, df0: is still accessed for part of the start-up.
- As I have pointed out before regarding DM, is rather pointless to have either
- it, or CSB as HD installable. Games that are continuously accessing the HD
- (such as Black Crypt) are fine, but, since DM and CSB use a RAM disk to
- pre-load the levels, there's no waiting anyway.
