Thanks for the Warp pre-release.  I am having trouble installing it though.  OS/2 doesn't support my CD-ROM yet, so I made disk images of the install disks.  When I put the first disk in and boot, it works properly and asks for Disk 1.  However, after the OS/2 title screen comes up, the computer freezes.  The drive a: access light stays on, but nothing ever happens.  The keyboard stops responding (num lock light won't turn off, ctl-alt-del does nothing) and the computer just sits there spinning the disk.  The same thing happens if I use the CD-ROM disks--it never even tries to access the CD, just locks up.

Do you have any suggestions or know anyone who might?
The computer is a 486DX4-100, with combination PCI/VESA bus, AMI bios, 16mb ram, Kelvin-64 video card, and TEAC quad-speed CD (proprietary).
