- If you have a supported CD-ROM drive, you can install from the CD-ROM
- after creating 2 diskettes which you use to boot from. Once you have booted
- and done some initial configuration, OS/2 will install directly from
- the CD-ROM. I just did this a couple of days ago and it worked without
- problems.
