Then better idea:

Install Win3.11 on a FAT16 first disk.
Install NT on an NTFS second disk (or partition)

best of both worlds :)

(OK, so I'm an NT nut, but still.....)

then how does NT format and use a 4gig disk, even tho it starts out as
FAT? 64K clusters? (ouch, that'd be nasty!)

Win2K doesn't have that problem - you say "I want this new partition to
be NTFS" and it formats it NTFS on the spot - no conversion needed.
