Andre,
I have a way for you to run those BETA's of V (or any other browser),
withought worrying about losing data. But, it is a little set up work.
First, if you have OS3.5 it's a little easier to pull off :)
Use HD-ToolBox to make a nice small 5-15MEG partition. Give it a good
name, like "BrowserCaches" or somesuch none-sense. With this done,
hide the partition from the os3.5 "WorkBench" prefs. (don't need it
cluttering up your WB do ya?)
With all that done, the hard part begins! Copy your Voyager Cache
directory to the new partition. Go drink coffee.. Drink a whole pot.
Relieve yourself, then make more coffee! Start V�, and set the prefs
to point to the new *cache* directory. Finally, delete the old cache
directory. Repeat, as necissary, for the other browsers on your
system. For further protection, you could make a directory on this
partition for all downloads.
By doing this (which I also recommend for PC's), you will have limited
the damage from crashes. Thus, worst case: you would have to validate
the cache partition. All of your files would be safe!! I've done
this, and it works really well.
*If you use a beta*, you *MUST* protect your drive. Ollie knows it is
unstable, that is why it's *not* a release version. :) I can't resist
the new beta's either, but I have my system set up to protect my
files. :)
I hope I have been some help.
