[Coco] making nitros9 on MinGW

[Bill Pierce]

My problem with a junked up/full system is getting solved today... it finally crashed the boot sector and I have to rebuild the whole system from scratch. Luckilly I had a small drive attached but no 2nd OS on it. I'l put Win Ser 2008 on it and that'll fix my boot sector. I've already moved the important stuff with a temp install of winxp, so I can reformat/reinstall the default system on C:/.  It'll be a long night reinstalling a ton of software from CD's, DVD's and archives on my Ext Drive.

I had the same dilemma with my XP Pro notebook. One thing I noted, Windows
nstall files use more space than the OS does. If you can move those files
o another drive, you can free a ton of disk space. I didn't have an
xternal drive until the notebook died. :(
Now I have no puter and this ZTEt merit is not an acceptable replacement. :/

 I have that same problem, where do I put stuff so I can truly clean my
 system up. <sigh>
