Re: Merlin install




Gerry,

I guess it is different over different machines and I also have the impression that the 701 
is even more different.

I purposely tried my suspend yesterday by letting the machine sit.  The display suspends, 
and then the disk and then the CPU.  It sat for over an hour with no drop in the battery 
level indicator.

Boy, you're right about the 200 MB partition for warp 4.  I had been previously installing 
OS/2 on 150 MB partitions.  I now have a 350 MB partition for it (I installed Voice Type 
and Java development).
