Re[2]: Boot manager [OT]
You can order System Commander on-line at www.systemcommander.com.
And I think it's also aailable here in Israel (maybe at BUG or Office
Depot but I'm not sure).
I have a slightly off-topic question, but since the topic came up on
the list and I'm planning to buy System Commander anyway, I was
wondering if anyone who has used it can tell me if I also need
Partition Magic to operate about 8 OSs together. I'm planning a
machine that will have 2 or 3 distributions of LINUX (REDHAT and
DEBIAN at least), OS/2, DOS 6.22, Win 3.11, WIN95, and WIN98. I think
that's **too heavy** for lilo or loadln. In the past, when trying to
do something similar, I ran into problems with the need for some of
these OSs to be installed in a Primary partition. I also couldn't set
up a swap partition for LINUX since I had an OS/2 Bootmanager
(Primary), a DOS primary (C:), and an extended partition (containing
some logical DOS partitions). Fdisk would only allow me to create one
LINUX partition for a total of four partitions on the disk. So I
think one or both of these commercial programs should help solve my
installation woes. BTW - am I wrong about this ??
