- If you are running OS/2 and your CD ROM is supported by OS/2 you can
- use the INSTALL program to install from CD or create diskettes. If
- your CD ROM is not supported from OS/2, and you are able to access
- the CD ROM from DOS, you can still create OS/2 CD install diskettes or
- the diskettes for OS/2 and the other products.
-
- The utility LOADDSKF is used to create the actual diskette from
- disk images that are on the CD ROM. LOADDSKF.EXE is in the \INSTALL
- directory. Since LOADDSKF is FAPI, it can be run from either DOS or
- OS/2.
-
- To install OS/2 the best first choice is to create the CD install
- diskettes and use them to install from the CD. The two CD install
- diskettes are created with the following two commands:
-
- D:\INSTALL\LOADDSKF D:\OS2\CDINST\<size>\DISK0.DSK d:
-
- D:\INSTALL\LOADDSKF D:\OS2\CDINST\<size>\DISK1.DSK d:
-
- where D: is the drive letter of the CD ROM
- <size> is 35 for 3.5" diskettes, 525 for 5.25" diskettes
- d: is the drive letter of your diskette drive (A: or B:)
-
- NOTE: Use previously formatted diskettes for the target (d:).
-
- Then with the DISK0 diskette in drive A:, reboot your system and
- follow the instructions to install OS/2.
-
-
- Diskettes can be created for the products listed below:
-
- Product Location
- ------- --------
-
- OS/2 Base \OS2\DISKIMGS
- OS2Toolkit \DEVTOOLS\OS2TK21\DISKIMGS
- Debugger \DEVTOOLS\OS2TK21\DISKIMGS
- Multimedia Base \MMPM2\DISKIMGS
-
-
- To use LOADDSKF to create the first 3.5" diskette of the OS/2 Toolkit
- for example you would type:
-
- D:\INSTALL\LOADDSKF D:\DEVTOOLS\OS2TK21\DISKIMGS\35\DISK1.DSK d:
-
- where D: is the drive letter of the CD ROM
- d: is the drive letter of your disketted drive (A: or B:)
-
- NOTE: Use previously formatted diskettes for the target (d:).
