Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Re: booting to eCS 2.0

Content Type: text/plain

In following Steven's advice, I copied file UJFS.DLL from eCS 2.0 to
eCS 1.2. Then I issued a CHKDSK E: /F:2 (E: has eCS 2.0)
This worked fine, and I am now able to boot eCS 2.0. However, this
brings up a query/suggestion. Does SOUG have in its archives
a text that describes recommended procedures for maintenance of
an eCS partition. Steven has given me oral instructions about
archiving a desktop, about setting up an image file and other
actions. I do not always remember all the details (although some
"research" always will get there), so a writen manual would be
a big help.
