- Actually, you can create boot image _files_ from which to boot a DOS session;
- I forget the exact command, it's something like vmdisk d: filename.img to
- create a boot image from drive d:. Then, you can point the Dos Settings at
- the image file. This way you don't need multiple partitions to boot
- multiple DOS versions. Check your Master Help Index object for more info.
-
- I seem to recall a utility that allows a _minimal_ image file to be stored
- and booted from, instead of a full 1.44MB image of the diskette. Try
- ftp-os2.nmsu.edu (Hobbes) for this(?).
