Hi, is there any chance to reinstall OS/2 v. 3 from harddrive or CD?
Our office has 3 machines running OS/2, and we have only diskettes (set of about 20). We need sometimes to reinstall OS/2 (about once a month). And it is wery uncomfortable to make it from diskettes. Can we just put content of diskettes to one hardrive and istall from it? We do this with Windows 98 SE if we need to.

Thanks for help

Jan

You have to alternatives.

Get a copy of Symantic Ghost. Make an image of one of a HDD. Burn it to CD. Boot the machine with Ghost and copy the image.

You can also burn all the floppies to a CD, each floppy in a separate directory. Run the installer from directory for the first floppy and change the path for each "floppy".

I would make the image and not deal with the directories.
