TITLE: 950110 USING ALT+F1 ROUTINE UNDER WARP ON A PRELOAD SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS:
If a user has a preloaded system and excutes the ALT+F2 command,
selecting the maintenance partition (M), some information in the
\OS2\BOOT\CONFIG.M file may be incorrect for that particular preload
system. If the information is incorrect, when the install program
is started, it may exit with an error indicating that the sourcepath
incorrect.
RESOLUTION:
To get around this problem, the user will have to edit the
\OS2\BOOT\CONFIG.M file. There are two "set" statements
that will need to be changed:
SET SOURCEPATH=drive:\path
SET FDISKETTESOURCE= 0 or 1;
0 if redirected from cd, remote or local drive
1 if user will be prompted to insert diskettes
If the user has not made a set of diskettes using their Diskette
Factory program, then SOURCHPATH needs to points to
C:\DISKETTS\OS2V3, and FDISKETTESOURCE should equal 0.
If the user has made a set of installation diskettes and the install
directory tree loaced under \DISKETTS\OS2V3 has been deleted by the
Diskette Factory program, then SOURCEPATH should equal A: and
FDISKETTESOURCE should be set
