If you have OS3.9 you can install SFS from BoingBag3.9-1, I use it on all
but my boot partition. If you just make one SFS partition and put your
Browsers caches, your download directory, and I also have Yam's incomming
folder on, then if you have a crash the partition is still usable. At
most you just lose the one file it was downloading when it crashed, and
even with mail that is still on the server. I find it very stable and
it's free. It never needs validating. You can even get SmartInfo v1.92 to
defrag large partitions.

Regards,



Ray
