A few weeks ago I asked about problems using the Desktop Manager from AppleShare with large disks (on regular Macs, not the servers). Excepting the well-known problem of not being able to dismount floppies, no problems were reported. Nobody mentioned whether it was possible to run a normal DeskTop file on floppies and use the DTM on hard disks. This is a summary of seven responses. ---- Alexis Rosen alexis@dasys1.UUCP or alexis@ccnysci.UUCP Writing from {allegra,philabs,cmcl2}!phri\ The Big Electric Cat uunet!dasys1!alexis Public UNIX {portal,well,sun}!hoptoad/

If you boot from a disk that does not have the Desktop Manager init, the system will insist on building a "normal" desktop file on your other disks. Other than that, it works OK.
