COPYING THE RESPONSE FILE TO DISKETTE
_____________________________________
The following is a list of the steps you would
perform to modify a response file and then
place the response file on a copy of Diskette
1. To copy the response file onto a diskette,
you must make some modifications to Diskette 1.
These modifications make room on the diskette
for the response file.
1. Make a copy of Diskette 1. You will modify
the copy.
2. Make extra room on the copy of Diskette 1
by deleting files that will not be needed
in a response file installation:
a. Delete the MOUSE.SYS file from the copy
of Diskette 1.
b. Delete the SYSINST2.EXE file from the
copy of Diskette 1.
c. Delete the BUNDLE file from the copy of
the Diskette 1.
d. If you are installing OS/2 2.1 on a
Micro Channel(*) computer, delete the
following file from your copy of
Diskette 1:
IBM1*.ADD
e. If you are installing OS/2 2.1 on a
non-Micro Channel computer, delete the
following files from your copy of
Diskette 1:
IBM2*.ADD
*02.SYS
f. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file that exists on
the copy of Diskette 1.
1) Change the SET OS2_SHELL statement
from:
set os2_shell=sysinst2.exe
to:
set os2_shell=rspinst.exe a:\os2se20.rsp
2) Delete the following statement:
device=\mouse.sys
3) If you are installing OS/2 2.1 on a
Micro Channel computer, delete the
following statements from the
CONFIG.SYS file on your copy of
Diskette 1:
BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD
BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD
4) If you are installing OS/2 2.1 on a
non-Micro Channel computer, delete
the following statements from the
CONFIG.SYS file on your copy of
Diskette 1:
BASEDEV=IBM2FLPY.ADD
BASEDEV=IBM2ADSK.ADD
BASEDEV=IBM2SCSI.ADD
3. Make a copy of the SAMPLE.RSP file (located
in the OS2\INSTALL directory).
4. Use an editor (such as the System Editor)
to modify and save the file. The file
contains comments that explain each of the
installation options. Make sure you delete
the commented lines when you modify the
file.
5. Copy the modified response file to the copy
you made of Diskette 1. Use the name
OS2SE20.RSP when you copy the file.
6. Copy the RSPINST.EXE file (located in the
OS2\INSTALL directory) to the copy of
Diskette 1.
| 7. If you are installing OS/2 2.1 from
| diskettes or a CD-ROM you will also need to
| modify the Installation Diskette.
|
| a. Make a copy of the OS/2 2.1
| Installation Diskette.
| b. Delete the *.BIO and ABIOS.SYS files
| from the copy of the Installation
| Diskette.
| c. Copy the *.BIO and ABIOS.SYS files from
| the Reference diskette for your
| computer to the copy of the
| Installation Diskette.
| d. Use the copy during the installation
| process instead of the original.
8. Begin the installation of the workstation
by inserting the Installation Diskette and
restarting the system.
9. When prompted for Diskette 1, insert the
modified copy of Diskette 1, and press
Enter.
From this point, the installation program will
prompt only for the insertion of diskettes. No
other installation screens will appear.
Note: When prompted to insert Diskette 1
again, insert the original copy of Diskette 1.
This procedure can be used to install the same
set of options on multiple workstations. Using
a response file, you can make sure that a group
of workstations is set up with the same set of
options.
