Really, it's kinda neat if you have it installed twice. They interact
with each other. I didn't have two copies install long, so I'm not sure
exactly how, but my settings from one some how was saved to the other.
It also auto-mounts the second one on boot. Which makes your desktop
really confusing.

The documentation for BeOS PE5 says that it can only be installed on the
Windows C drive. This isn't totally true. If you wish to it from within
windows it is true. But if you make a boot disk, using the tool
installed then you can boot if it's on another windows partition. It
might even be possible to install two copies on different partitions ( I
haven't tried ). I thought it might be useful to someone who does not
what to kill there BeOS partition working on OpenBeOS.

Also a small thought for server developers. If a server uses ports to
comunicate with the clients, you can do a find to see if the ports open
and if not start the server.
