One caution about Change Kickstart, don't leave any un-writeprotected
disks in the drives when you activate it. Last night I lost the entire
root track (40) on a disk that was in df1:, Change Kickstart was the
only unusual thing I did, so I suspect it of the damage.

Better safe than sorry.

And thank god (or Dave Haynie) for DiskSalv!! Damage was limited to
loosing two files: .info, and a read.me. THANKS DAVE!!!
