OS2 and win2k dual boot?

[HalfHuman]

Ok, I am really really bored and I want to dual boot windows 2000 and OS2. Is this even possible? I would rather not use a separate bootmanager like system commander. I heard somewhere that OS2 is now a free download, if so, where? My system is is my sig, is there any hardware that won't work? (where) Can I get gf2 drivers?

I know that OS/2 Warp 3 needs two partitions. One for the boot loader and the second for the system. I think that OS/2 is not free, even though nobody uses it anymore.

In fact, I suppose that museums pay very well for this rare jurassic software...

I also plan to add OS/2 Warp to my multi boot system someday...
Oh! Yes. I love museums, sure.

OS/2 does not need 2 partitions, one being for the bootloader... But, if you are going to use ANY boot menus to to boot OS/2, use either Boot Manager (Included with OS/2 and requires its own partition) or use Partition Magic... The Win2K boot loader works like crap for OS/2... Thank You Microsoft...

thanks alot, I don't really want to spend any money, so I will stick with linux and beos. I can't remember where I saw it was a free download. I will look, if I find it, I will post a link.
