- I think that the note means that if you are using OS/2 to run your CD-ROM
- drive in order to make the couple of floppies needed to do the install,
- that REXX is needed in order to create the floppies. You can use DOS to run
- the CD-ROM to make the floppies, without using REXX. Once you have the
- couple floppies made, you don't need any OS/2 present to complete the
- installation from floppies + CD ROM.
