- I have a machine which has three disk partitions set up.
- One partition contains OS/2 2.0 GA+SP, one contains
- OS/2 2.1 beta and the third contains my user data.
- Can someone tell me if there will be any complications
- with alternatively running the 2.0 and 2.1 versions?
- Each OS/2 partition has its own Desktop directory, so
- I realize that any Desktop changes made while running
- one version will not be reflected when the other version
- is running. I'm more concerned about the EA's that
- get stored with the directories in the common partition.
- If I add objects to a folder which resides in the common
- partition, what will happen when I run the other version
- of OS/2. Will the system get hopelessly confused about
- which objects reside where? Are there other potential
- configuration problems? Experiences and comments
- are welcome. Thanks.
