[techtalk] Yet Another Installation Question

[Wendy Galovich]

Hi Keith,
	If you have only one IDE connection to use, but want to have the
two OSes installed on separate drives, you could try this: get one
swappable drive rack and two trays to mount the hard drives in. Then you
can swap them as often as you need to, with a minimum of fuss.
