- Bob,
-
- It might be a good idea to hang on to NB3 pro tem, but why not back it
- up onto floppies just in case, delete it from the HD, and have done
- with it? And if you have MS-DOS v 5, then you need not have a
- partition. This is what I did and I regret it not.
-
- Personally, I think that the simpler the better. If you have just a
- basic installation (NB and an operating system, say) then why make
- things complicated?
