Re: [APML] OT: Megastar support

["Shekhar Borde" <shekhar@prodigy.net>]

Philip,

I think I am just going to install it in C: (my Windows
partition) and live with it.  I think the installer is
kind of primitive and doesn't quite know how to deal
with today's large drives and multiple partitions.

Installing the databases separately sounds like a good
idea since, as you say, they need not be backed up.

Thanks,

Shekhar
