Default OS/2 Installation Diskettes/Floppies

    Hi there,

    Not sure if this answers all your questions regarding creating the OS/2
installation diskettes from CD.

    1. Copy the directory \DISKIMGS\OS2\35 from your OS/2 CD to your local
drive. (i.e. c:\os2)
    2. Copy all the files from \DISKIMGS to the same directory. (i.e. c:\os2)
    3. To create the first bootable installation diskette, at the command
prompt, type XDFCOPY disk0.dsk a: (a: being your floppy drive)
    4. Repeat for all the installation diskettes in the directory (i.e.
XDFCOPY disk1.dsk a: for the next one)
    5. If you want to use the OS/2 CD and save some diskettes create the
bootable diskette (disk0.dsk) and then create the CD diskette (disk1_cd.dsk)
and you're good to start your install.

    Hope this helps,
