window in which you check which features you want to install.  Some of the
features have a More push button to the right.  Select More to see additional
choices.

You are then prompted to insert diskettes so that the installation program can
transfer operating system files to your hard disk.

After all of the files have been copied to your hard disk, you see the Advanced
Options window.  From this window, you can choose to install devices that come
with a Device Support Diskette.  You can copy information from an existing
CONFIG.SYS file or AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  You also can configure your WIN-OS/2
desktop and migrate existing DOS, OS/2, and Windows** programs.

Finally, you see the Select Printers window.  From this window, you select a
default printer for your system.

Adding or changing features after installation

After you install the operating system, you can add or change features.  (For
example, you can change the mouse, display adapter, or country information for
your system.)  You can also add features that you did not include when you
originally installed the operating system. For example, if you did not install
the online documentation, you can add it.
