Comment:

I have a couple of questions about installing Warp 4:

1.) The computer I want to install it on does not have a working floppy drive. The Warp program itself is on CD-ROM. Can I install straight from that? Or will I need a floppy for a "start-up" disk?

2.) I want to install to a 30 GB HD. Should I re-partition it to make seeral smaller drives?

3.) Are there any issues with OS/2 and Celerons that I need to be aware of?

Thanks in advance.

You'll need a Bootable CD-Rom or the latest
version of Warp Convenience Pack 2 that is
or eCS.
There are programs like cdboot.zip you can download from Hobbes.
There is no need to repartition the HD but you'll need the latest idesdad.exe installed
to access the whole drive, for sure the updated install diskettes for >8.4 gb hd.
Or you'll need a floppy drive.

good info here:

isnt the cdboot.zip a floppy that lets you boot from an IDE CD-ROm Drive?

Just use a different floppy drive to boot up the install diskettes. Unless your mainboard floppy controller is screwed =/

Im not sure, but maby he can do a HD install of OS\2 or boot off a DOS CD-ROM(yes, you can od that, use Nero and use a floppy image) and then setup from the CD-ROM dirrectly and setup.

Cant really help you on this one >_<

1. If you want to install directly from cdrom, you can preferably use Zolt Kadars programme UpdCd. Look at: http://xenia.sote.hu/%7Ekadzsol/rexx/sajat/updcd.htm
Tht programme is usable under DOS also, so you can make your CD on a Windowsmachine. It is a real good programme and quite simple to use. Userfreindly!
The easyest way..buy eComStation..!

3. I have a Celeron myself, no problems.
