1 - Soon I'm going to be putting a new, big fat disk in
my PC, and I'm thinking about allocating some space for a future install of an alternative OS. I'd like to try out AROS.
The setup of the disk would look something like:
first partition, bootable: NTFS, 2GB
(partition in between for alternative OS)
data partition, NTFS, rest of space on disk
Could I boot into AROS if it were the second partition on the disk? (I don't mind changing the active partition using a partitioning util every time I want to boot whichever isn't the current active one) How large should the second partition be?
2 - can I have a read-only NTFS driver running to be able to read at least the NTFS data partition?
3 - state of graphics driver - GF4 Ti4200?
4 - apps support under AROS?
I'll probably make the alternative OS partition 10GB in size so that I could use it for say FreeBSD in the future.
I don't want to have a second disk in the same machine due really to sound, heat and expense problems. I'll be using the current disk in another machine anyway.
