- Un-zip the files to your hard drive to get *.dsk files. Also download
- and unzip the loaddskf.exe program. Use loaddskf.exe to produce the
- install disks for the service pack.
-
- Don't worry that the .dsk files are bigger than the size of your
- floppy. They contain header information that the loaddskf.exe program
- strips. Note that these files are disk images, not program files.
- They are useless until you create floppies from them. You'll need one
- floppy for each file to do this.
-
- Once you create the SP, read the README file on disk 1 (or is it disk
- 0?) before doing anything.

- Damian got them from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. Look in /pub/os2/2.0/servpak
- (I think). Get the .zip files you need. there are two sets: a set of
- 14 files for 1.44MB floppies, and a set of 16 files for 1.2MB floppies.
