Sender: owner-opendos AT mail DOT tacoma DOT net

Ok.. this is gonna sound strange to some people.. but...

I have MS DOS 6.22 Installed, and Win NT 4.0 Install, MS DOS 6.22 also
has Win 3.11, I am gonna install Win 95(97 beta maybe) also,

Before I go and get OpenDOS, I was wondering if I would be able to
install OpenDOS on the *SAME* drive as MS DOS 6.22 and not have it
interfer with DOS 6.22, in other words, I am a multi OS person, I use
them all... I have the disk space, so I do it.. I like it this way...

Anyway, NT uses the NTLDR to Boot NT, if DOS is already installed it
uses a file called boot.ini, this file can be manipulated so that you
can boot DOS, instead of NT, it is a menu style system.. NT users now
what I am talking about, I was wondering if, that is if it doesn't
interfer with DOS 6.22, the boot.ini could also be manipulated to boot
OpenDOS by menu...

If you know the awnser to my question, plz tell me... I am very eager to
get OpenDOS installed, if I can not have MS DOS 6.22 and OpenDOS at the
same time, I am willing to give up 6.22   :)

Also, if DOS 6.22 is already installed, and as I said before it has Win
3.11, when I install OpenDOS, will I still be able to run Win 3.11?

Thnx!
