Hello. I am looking for a way to avoid switchlaunches. I have a hard disk and want to boot from a floppy and keep the startup there. But I want to be able to run applications from the Hard Disk. Is there any way to do this?

MF doesn't allow switchlaunches. Or, if MF is a bad idea, the only other way I can think of is to temporarily disable the hard disk as a system disk by moving the Finder or System file (but not both) out of the System Folder temporarily. /JBL = UUCP: levin@bbn.com (new) or {backbone}!bbn!levin (old) INTERNET: levin@bbn.com POTS: (617) 873-3463 "The night was"
