BOOTOS2 enables you to build a bootable OS/2 2.x system using an existing
OS/2 2.x system. You install the program on diskettes or a hard-disk partition.
You can install three types of systems:
Minimal
This is a basic OS/2 2.x system that supports a single OS/2 Full
Screen session. All 16- and 32-bit OS/2 Full Screen
applications are supported. While multitasking is supported, the
ability to switch between different processes is not.
This system can be installed on a single
3.5-inch 1.44MB diskette or on a 2MB hard disk partition.
PM
This is an OS/2 2.x system that supports any 16- or 32-bit OS/2 Full
Screen or PM application. Multitasking is supported, as is the
ability to switch between different processes.
The Workplace Shell is present as a single OS/2 window.
This system requires at least a 6MB hard-disk partition.
WPS
This is an OS/2 2.x system that supports any 16- or 32-bit OS/2 Full
Screen or PM application. Multitasking is supported, as is the
ability to switch between different processes.
The OS/2 Workplace Shell is fully active and starts up with a
number of default folders and system objects.
This system requires at least a 7MB hard disk partition.
You must run BOOTOS2 from an existing OS/2 2.x system.
The BOOTOS2 program analyzes your system and creates a boot system
that is specific for it.
For example, it determines if your system supports features such as HPFS
or SCSI and adds the appropriate support for it.
Because of this, a boot disk created for a specific workstation will not
necessarily work correctly on a different workstation.
If you install the boot system on a hard-disk drive, you may want to
also install the OS/2 boot Manager and add the boot system to it.
