duo boot systems...revisited, i think?

[Karen Lewellen]

I am sorry that my spelling is such an issue for you.
As expressed I wrote that post in the middle of the night.
Not shared however is that I learned that my 20 year old nephew died of a 
heart attack in America, and i was more than  a bit  distracted.
Others seemed to understand my meaning,
Indeed my goal is to run DOS and Linux on different hard drives, and boot 
into Linux as needed.
Is that clear enough for you?
