I have a tiny cute 486 SX 25 MHz with 8 megabytes of RAM. I wanted to install OS/2, because dust was covering. I never had an opportunity to try that because of problems on my usual PC (to big HDD, etc). So now problem is that: I have only 3 diskettes and that computer refuses to work with CD-ROM. The only idea is to copy installation files onto that HDD using another computer, and then...? How to start installation from HDD? And what kind of partition should I make? FAT16?

Is it not possible to create the floppy disk set from the CD on another PC ? It is some time since I have used OS/2 but believe that is feasible. Install on FAT16 is OK.

Yes I can create set of disk but I have only three of them (I found them somwhere in my stuff, because I have not been using floppies since 1999). So I can make no more than three. And I don't want to go and buy another ones...

You can do like this: Copy "OS2IMAGE" to your harddrive. Add a line in config.sys on disk 1.That line is "SET SOURCEPATH=X:\OS2IMAGE" where X is the name of your drive. You can't use disk1 belonging to the cdrom installation. You should have the one from the floppyversion. Begin the installation process. I have done it myself with warp4 but I guess it'll work the same way with warp 3. /Good luck
