- Add a "CALL=C:\OS2\CMD.EXE" to your CONFIG.SYS file as the LAST line. When you
- reboot, OS/2 will start a full-screen command-line session and you can fiddle
- with things since most of the OS hasn't started yet. Just delete the files
- on your root directory, then type "EXIT" and OS/2 will finish coming up.
-
- It's convenient enough I just leave that line in my CONFIG.SYS all the time,
- since I rarely reboot anymore, except when I'm loading fixes.
