Copy the install directory tree (not the diskimages) from the CD to
harddrive. Under Warp, I think that it is called \OS2IMAGE. Use
XCOPY /S to get all the subdirectories. It's huge, like 30M or more
with something like 1000 files. Change the CONFIG.SYS file on the
second install floppy to point to it, by adding the directory name to
the install startup line. I think that the line is
SET OS2_SHELL=SYSINST2.EXE C:\OS2IMAGE
All you need to do is add the C:\OS2IMAGE part. Reboot with the
modified floppies and listen to the music of your harddrive. Stand
back, because install flies like greased lightning.
