I am experiencing fan problems with my 1.2GB external boot drive and
may have to take it out of service for a while.  What is the best
strategy for maintaining a minimal configuration during its absence?
I have a CD-ROM drive and a 105 MB internal (which is presently doing
service as a swapdisk); when I ultimately receive 3.0, will I be able
to boot from the CD-ROM, or is it possible (and preferable) to install
the basic release on the internal drive?

Thanx in advance for any suggestions/advice,

/jim
