- If you are going to go w/ HPFS you will have to back up all your info
- because os/2 will format the drive to HPFS. If you decide that
- you are going to use the FAT method instead, backing *should* not be
- necessary... (I did it the first time i installed it, and found it
- to be a useless procedure because i ended up getting confused with
- all the backed-up disks lying around....)
-
- make sure you read all the installing screens carefully if you don't
- wish to backup...
-
- but i'm getting off the original topic here....
-
- .sig, do your work!
