TITLE: 950130 Installing from CDROM, using device drivers other
than IBM supplied drivers. (WARP)
DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS:
If the user is installing from a drive other
than A: (e.g. CDROM), and a device driver
that does not exist on DISK #1 (note: user has
the device driver file from the vendor), the install
process will not copy this file onto the
hardfile after the installation is complete. The
cause of this problem is because if the user could
not boot with the drivers that are present on the
hardfile, then he will have to boot from
diskettes or another partition, then copy the device
driver file over.
RESOLUTION:
Development has added an environment variable called
copyfromfloppy that the installation program will
read from CONFIG.SYS on diskette #1. If the
CONFIG.SYS has the statement " set copyfromfloppy=1 ", then
the installation program will copy files from
disk #1 if the diskette is in the drive, and the
installation is from a drive other than A:.
