Re: How to rebuild stripped system (755cx)?

[Alden S Klovdahl <Alden.Klovdahl@anu.edu.au>]

apropos this question, and the questions about installing linux on the 760,
if you buy two hdd's in, say, a 760 can you install dos/win311/NT/linux on
the second hdd, then swap it with the first and use it as your main boot 
drive?

regards, al
