Randy,

Yes, that should work. The one limitation is that the hibernation 
facility apparently will not run if you have Boot Manager installed - 
now that may only be during the setup, not sure and the notes are not 
clear. I could install lose98 by creating a new clean primary partition 
as C, rebooting, installing, doing the hibernate thing, and then booting 
from the eCS CD into the console, run LVM, reset the boot partition, and 
we should then be all right.

But, unfortunately I no longer have any space left at the beginning of 
the disk, and the data partition is JFS, so I can't do the Partition 
Magic thing.

I wonder if DFSEE would let me shrink and shift the JFS partition 
safely, it is mostly empty. Else, I'd have to trash the partition, 
recreate it, and then restore.

Hmm, getting more complicated all the time!
