- According to several reports, formatting the OS partition (you did keep it
- separate from the programs and data files, yes? :-) helps avoid problems
- when installing the beta.
-
- Some have reported that installing without re-formatting resulted in
- various glitches (in DOS sessions, WinOS2, ...) which went away when the
- partition was formatted and then the beta was installed.
-
- You can use WPSBKUP if you want to save the desktop and customizations.
