OS/2 2.0 can be installed in the following ways:
Much of the information needed to install OS/2 2.0 is on installation screens and their associated help screens. Users also can consult the OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide for assistance during installation.
If you will be setting up several workstations for others, you might want to use a response file. Typically, a person who is installing the operating system answers questions when prompted by the installation program. If you use a response file, it is not necessary to answer any questions. All the answers are in the response file. First, you install OS/2 2.0 in the usual way. Next, you modify the sample response file provided in the INSTALL directory of the installed system. Then you copy the modified response file and the RSPINST.EXE file to a copy of Diskette 1 and begin the next installation. Now, however, the installation program will read the file instead of prompting you for information. OS/2 2.0 will be installed in exactly the same way on each system, and all you have to do is insert and remove diskettes when prompted.
If you are planning to install OS/2 2.0 from a LAN, you might want to order a copy of OS/2 Version 2.0: Remote Installation and Maintenance (GG24-3780).
