Sheridan said he has a 1.1 GB HPFS partition for memory dump space. It
has to be as big as main RAM. Exactly what is memory dump space, when is
it used ?

Also, how is the maintenance partition used? Sheridan said he has a
small one of only 40 MB of HPFS type. What kind of activity or
information is placed in the maintenance partition? Very basic question!

Another item I am fuzzy about is the R partition of HPFS which is RAM disk
setup in config.sys I am in the dark here. Can you explain, please?

Steven said a GB of a logical HPFS for Boot eCS maintenance.
Is this the same as maintenance or is it specific to booting?

Is it logical to think of putting the contents of the 3 eCS 1.1 cd's onto
the hard drive? If there are problems, the installation information on
the cd's are readiily available easier to install. I am just wondering
because somewhere in the recesses of my mind I think I read something
about this with windows.

Thank you for your imput and advice. It is much appreciated.
