On my main computer, which runs OS/2 Warp 4 plus has Win 98, Win XT, and
Linux, I did have Boot Manager as an option under SC. Somewhere along the
way, I added another primary partition (for some reason I can no longer
remember), and I had to give up Boot Manager. Now that I have room for it
again, I don't feel any need to reinstall it as SC works so well.

On my experimental computer, which is set up similarly, but with eCS
instead of Warp 4, I tried adding Boot Manager to the SC menu, but I can't
get it to work. So it just sits there with a big question mark, and I
haven't gotten around to either seeing if I can get it to work, or just go
ahead and remove it. Again, I don't seem to need it.

But I have noticed that any time I use Partition Magic to set Boot Manager
active, it is there to be used.

I don't know if that was what you wanted to know, but let me know if you
have any other questions.

Sandy
