Disk Management
The disks you use in GEOS fall into three general categories: boot (or
system), application, and work disks. (Boot and application disks also are
referred to as master disks.) The boot disk is used
to start up GEOS. The
application disk contains the GEOS programs you use, such as
geoWrite or
geopaint. A work disk, described briefly in Chapter 2, "Learning GEOS,"
is reserved for everyday use and its contents are determined by you. It can
contain copies of the application, documents, and related
frles (such as desk
accessories or font files).

drive unless a
