Hello boost folks,

I came across the following link on how to build Boost With Visual Studio:
http://blog.emptycrate.com/node/414

I have VS2008 professional on Windows XP professional with boost 1.39.0
installed, really  wanted to replace it with 1.42.0. My hard disk now has
about 16 GB left.  Is there anybody who followed the above link to have
successfully installed boost 1.42.0 in an environment like mine (i.e., is
the method correct)? What should I do with the /boost directory of about
1.8GB when boost 1.39.0 was built, simply deleting it?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Robert
