OK, i want to install os/2, but i have this
config:

256 MB RAM
900 MHZ Celeron
20 GB first HD, 5 GB Win2k, 15 GB vfat data
10 GB second HD, Linux slackware 8.0

so, can i install on the
second disk?, it would be a lot more easier
since i can reinstall linux later without
problems, Win2k have the problem of having to reinstall a lot of apps like IE 6, that
need to be downloaded from the net, and also
reinstall every program i've downloaded in the last 8 months, since linux is mostly
'self contained' i don't have this problem
since everything gets installed on setup

and also, what type of bootloader gets installed with os\2, if any

well, i think that's it
so thanks in advance!!

That is a tough one. WSeB can be installed beyond the 1024 sector, but Warp can't. OS/2 Boot manager can boot your other OSes and can be installed anywhere on the drive.

I can boot 4 different OSes with it.

Vpart is another boot manager that should let u boot from almost anywhere. Fips can also change your vfat partition to smaller size without losing your data
