- I have done this also with great sucess!!
- Here is the procedure I used:
-
- Intall OS/2 2.0 GA
- Apply Service Pack
- Install Winos231 (Do not reboot after install)
- Run Service Pack again but NOT on the winos231 directory.
- Reboot.
-
- I works great for me but please remember as has been pointed out here
- before that this is not supported by IBM so do so at your own risk...
