Soon I'm going to update from OS/2 EE 1.1 to OS/2 EE 1.2
Because the HPFS-filesystem is a new feature of version 1.2,
I would like some advise from people who are already using 1.2.
My hardware:
IBM PS/2 Model 50Z-061
80286 zero wait-status
6 Mb memory
harddisk 60 Mb, partitioned C: 32 Mb D: 28Mb
I have been told version 1.2 EE will take about 23 Mb (without
com. manager) on my harddisk (nearly my whole current C-disk)
My question is :
1) Should I use the HPFS-filesystem, or is the normal FAT better for me ?
2) Because I think HPFS is not much faster then FAT (ON MY SYSTEM),
the only reason of using HPFS would be the long file-names.
Can I still use files with long names in the DOS-box ?
3) In case of the HPFS: What's the best way to partition my harddisk ?
(e.g. C-disk 32 Mb FAT, D-disk 28 Mb HPFS or
C-disk 25 Mb FAT, D-disk 35 Mb HPFS)
You can contact me by e-mail: mabdoor@cs.vu.nl
Thanks!
