- EASY AND ADVANCED INSTALLATION IN OS/2 WARP
- ================================================================
-
- Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- OS/2 WARP can be installed over the following products:
- OS/2 for Windows
- OS/2 Version 1.3
- DOS 3.30 or higher
- Microsoft Windows 3.1 or 3.11
- Windows for Workgroups 3.1 or 3.11
-
- NOTE: OS/2 does not enable the LAN connectivity function of
- Windows for Workgroups. For information on how to use
- the network function after installing OS/2, refer to
- online book, Application Considerations.
-
- If you are installing on a computer with Windows, you need the
- diskettes or the CD to install Windows.
- 1. If Windows is preinstalled, use the utility program to
- create the Windows diskettes before you install OS/2.
- 2. If you used device drivers, fonts, or specific language
- information files different from those included on the
- Windows diskettes, or from your preinstalled system, they
- may be overwritten when installing OS/2. Reinstall those
- device drivers after installing OS/2.
-
- Files on your hard disk should not be compressed. If you are
- using a DOS compression program, such as Stacker, AdStor, or
- DoubleSpace, decompress the disk where DOS and Windows are
- installed. See the manual for instructions on the compression
- program or contact the vendor for assistance. If the compression
- program you are using does not specifically state that it works
- with OS/2, you will not be able to use the compression program
- after OS/2 is installed.
-
- See the updates to the Installation program in the README.INS on
- the Installation Diskette. You may use any text editor to view
- or print the README. To use OS/2 diskette to view or print,
- follow these steps:
- 1. Insert the Installation Diskette into drive A.
- 2. Turn on the computer. If your computer is already on, press
- Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart your system.
- 3. When prompted, remove Installation Diskette and insert
- Diskette 1.
- 4. Press Enter.
- 5. When the Welcome Screen appears, press F3 to display a command
- prompt.
- 6. Remove Diskette 1 and reinsert Installation Diskette.
- - To View the README.INS, type:
- TEDIT README.INS and press Enter
- Press F3 to quit the editor.
- - To Print the README.INS, type:
- COPY README.INS > LPT1 and press Enter
- LPT1 is the port your printer is connected to, if you are
- using another port, use the correct port.

- Using The Advanced Installation for OS/2 Warp
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- With the Advanced Installation, you can customize how OS/2
- installs on your computer, including:

- - Installing OS/2 in a logical drive.
- - Install OS/2 on a hard disk other than the first hard disk.
- - Using the HPFS file system.
- - Selecting which of the OS/2 features you want to install.
- - Installing OS/2 so it can be used with Boot Manager.
- - Install OS/2 in one primary partition
-
- See the Chapter on, "Using Advanced Installation". If you have any
- problems during the installation, press F1 to view the online
- help whenever you see F1=Help at the bottom of the screen.
-
- If you have any problems with any hardware or if you receive an
- error message during the installation, see the Chapter, 'Solving
- Installation Problems".
-
-
- Using the Easy Installation for OS/2 Warp
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- You can choose Easy Installation to install OS/2 Warp from
- diskette or CD-ROM. Easy installation lets the system choose the
- options to install; you do not make any installation decisions.
- The Easy Installation uses default settings so it installs on the
- C:\ partition. See "Using Easy Installation" in the User's Guide
- to OS/2.
-
- Use Easy Installation to install with preselected settings, based
- on your current hardware and software. This program installs the
- operating system in the same partition as your DOS and Windows(if
- you have DOS and Windows installed). If you use this method,
- OS/2 Warp installs as the following:
-
- - If DOS and Windows are in a primary, drive C partition, OS/2
- installs in that partition.
- - The partition is not reformatted.
- - The Dual Boot feature is automatically set up, so you can
- start your computer from either DOS or OS/2.
- - If you are installing OS/2 Warp over a previous version of
- OS/2, your OS/2 Desktop is preserved.
-
- You need to indicate the type of printer connected to your
- system.
-
- NOTE: Be sure to have the MS windows diskettes or CD before
- installing OS/2. You are prompted to insert the
- original diskettes or CD from MS Windows.
-
- If you have any problems during the installation, press F1 to
- view the online help available whenever you see F1=Help at the
- bottom of a screen.
-
- If you have any problems with any hardware or if you receive an
- error message during the installation, see "Solving Installation
- Problems" in User's Guide to OS/2.
