-
- I am about to install OS/2 on my computer, but wonder about two ways of
- doing this.
-
- Since some people have had some problems installing OS/2 with existing
- software on the machine, I wonder if I should back up my Hard drive,
- reformat it, install OS/2 on the empty machine, then restore the DOS
- programs in a DOS session of OS/2.
-
- OR
-
- install OS/2 with the DOS software already on there and fix any problems
- as they arrive.
-
- I would like to use the OS/2 file system exclusively, but am afraid to
- choose that option if I use the second method.
-
- Thanks for your responses.
