1. What is the Reboot/2 package for ?
=====================================
This package creates a WPS folder, from from which you can
directly reboot to all bootable partitions directly, without
invoking the Bootmanager Menu.
IMPORTANT ! IMPORTANT ! IMPORTANT ! IMPORTANT ! IMPORTANT !
----------------------------------------------------------------
OS/2 Bootmanager/SETBOOT.EXE do the real work, thus no
application shutdown is made, but file-system shutdown only !
Before invoking such a reboot, all applications should be closed
or at least all unsaved data should be saved,
OTHERWISE UNSAVED DATA IS LOST !!!!
2. Install and configure Reboot/2
======================================
The package comes with the following files
readme - you are reading this file
history - release history
file_id.diz - package description file
wpsinst.cmd - generates the reboot folder
*.ico - some icons for the generated reboot
objects
Unpack the files of this package to a separate directory on your
hardisk. Then run INSTALL.CMD to query all bootable partitions
on your system.
It creates a WPS folder with one icon for each bootable
partition. If you execute one of these icons and press enter,
SETBOOT.EXE is executed to OS/2 shutdown *IMMEDIATELY*
(no application shutdown, only file-system shuttdown) and the
appropriate partition is booted directly by bypassing the boot
manager menu.
Note:
- Before executing a reboot, close all applications or at least
save all unsaved data, OTHERWISE UNSAVED DATA IS LOST !!!!
The Reboot/2 folder is created in the OS/2 System folder and a
shadow of it is placed onto the desktop.
Whenever you change the names ot the partitions or add to or
delete partitons from the Bootmanager menu, run the program icon
to let Reboot/2 recreate the reboot icons and to delete obsolete ones.
