I know I could probably dig up these answers myself, but it's easier to just ask you experts. Besides, you might even voluteer some usefull information I would take several crashes and reinstalls to figure out for myself.
1: Does eCS install with a boot manager and cooperate with other operating systems (cooperating systems?) like OS/2?
2: Can I install it to a FAT32 partition and boot from FAT32?
3: Does eCS have it's own version of Win-OS/2?
4: Maybe I should have asked this first. What are the recommended system requirements?

Re: Stupid eComStation questions
[quote="Bookworm"]I know I could probably dig up these answers myself, but it's easier to just ask you experts. Besides, you might even voluteer some usefull information I would take several crashes and reinstalls to figure out for myself.
1: Does eCS install with a boot manager and cooperate with other operating systems (cooperating systems?) like OS/2?
It can install with a boot manager. There is one that comes with it. It would depend on what other operating systems is also installed.
2: Can I install it to a FAT32 partition and boot from FAT32?
I believe FAT32 is an option among the different choices but you might want to check with the forum at http://www.os2world.com
3: Does eCS have it's own version of Win-OS/2?
It is not only part of OS/2 but also part of eCS. There is also ODIN at Netlabs which is another effort to run Win programs in OS/2 and eCS. http://odin.netabls.org http://www.netlabsl.org
4: Maybe I should have asked this first. What are the recommended system requirements?
One can get those at http://www.ecomstation.com and at http://www.os2world.com One can also try the demo cd which allows you to try eCS without having to install it.

There is a very useful and very active forum at http://www.os2world.com It covers both OS/2 Warp and eComStation.
I hope this helps.
