Richard,
        I don't know how much drive space you have left, but the differance
between the two installs is not very great. If your are filling up your
drive so much as to eek out a few megs you may want to consider adding
another drive. I would _never_ let a drive become more than about 90%
percent full. This allows Win95 a little room for swap files. Of course
I'm talking about a 2gig drive, leaving about 200gigs for the swap file.
Smaller drives should still use the 10% empty rule of thumb, or more. I
cannot count the number of times clients have called and said their
'puter is acting strange or worse, will not boot up.
        Just my two cents, but if your drive is that full, delete a bunch of
stuff, your machine will thank you for it!
        All the best, Mike Davis
