COPYING THE RESPONSE FILE TO DISK #1
____________________________________
The following is a list of the steps you would perform to modify
a response file and then place that response file on a copy of
disk #1.
This procedure requires UNPACK-ing compressed files. To do this,
copy UNPACK2.EXE from Diskette #2 of the OS/2 package to your
hard drive. Any reference to UNPACK2 should be performed from
the hard drive.
To copy the response file onto a diskette, you must make some
modifications to disk #1. These modifications make room on the
diskette for the response file.
1. Make a copy of disk #1. You will modify the copy only.
DISKCOPY A: A: (use same drive as source and destination)
DISKCOPY A: B: (use different drives as source and
destination)
2. Make extra room on the copy of disk #1 by deleting files that
will not be needed in a response file installation.
a. Delete the MOUSE.SYS file from the copy of disk #1
b. Delete the BUNDLE file from the copy of disk #1
NOTE: This step is not necessary for CD-ROM installations.
c. Delete the SYSINST2.EXE file from the copy of disk #1
d. If you are installing OS/2 2.1 on a Micro Channel(*)
computer, delete following file from your copy of disk #1:
DEL IBM1*.ADD
e. If you are installing OS/2 2.1 on a non-Micro Channel
computer, delete following files from your copy of disk #1:
DEL IBM2*.ADD
f. Edit the CONFIG.SYS that exists on the copy of diskette #1.
* Change the SET OS2_SHELL statement from:
SET OS2_SHELL=SYSINST2.EXE
to:
SET OS2_SHELL=RSPINST.EXE A:\OS2SE20.RSP
* Delete the following statement:
DEVICE=\MOUSE.SYS
* If you are installing OS/2 2.1 on a Micro Channel
computer, delete the following statements in the
CONFIG.SYS file on the copy of disk #1.
BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD
BASEDEV=IBM1ADSK.ADD
BASEDEV=IBM1SCSI.ADD
3. Make a copy of the SAMPLE.RSP file, located in a compressed
file named REQUIRED on disk #11 that has to be unpacked and
then copied to the copy of disk #1:
UNPACK A:\REQUIRED C:\ /N:SAMPLE.RSP
This will place file in the root directory of the C: drive.
4. Use an editor (such as the system editor) to modify and save
the file. The file contains comments that explain each of
installation options.
5. Copy the modified response file to the copy you made of disk
#1. Use the name OS2SE20.RSP when you copy the file:
Example: COPY C:\SAMPLE.RSP A:\OS2SE20.RSP
6. Copy the RSPINST.EXE File, located in a compressed file named
REQUIRED on disk #7 that has to be unpacked and copied to
your copy of disk #1:
UNPACK2 A:\REQUIRED C:\ /N:RSPINST.EXE
This will place file in root directory of your C:drive.
7. Begin the installation of the workstation by inserting the
installation diskette and restarting the system.
8. When prompted for disk #1, insert modified copy of disk #1
and press enter. From this point, the installation program
will ask only for the insertion of diskettes. No other
installation actions will be necessary.
NOTE: When prompted to insert disk #1 again, insert
the original disk #1 into drive a:
Response files can be used to install the same set of options on
multiple workstations. Ensure that the workstations are set up
with the same set of options and hardware.
