OS/2 v4 SMP; Installation & Fixpack

Comment:
Hi I installed OS/2 v4 yesterday on a Dualpentium Machine. I´ve read that it supports 2 CPUs. How do i check if both CPUs are used? Does OS/2 autodetect 2 CPUs and installs the right stuff? I did a standart installation. By the way i had a plenty of difficulties getting it on a 2GB IBM-UW-SCSI disk. But now it is up and running. I also installed the Matrox driver for my MilleniumII and it works fine. What to do next? Installing the fixpacks? Is there a manual how to install them? Can i install my IBM Works that came with OS/2 v3? Thanks

If you run OS/2 Warp4 Server with SMP Feature it should detect the 2 CPUs at startup, you get a message detect 1 or 2 CPUs something like that. On install you have to enable SMP support, did you read the readme/manual? For Fixpak installs read the documentation from the csf tool and http://ps.software.ibm.com/os2fixp/FIXHELP.HTM You can install IBM Works but it could work only on one CPU (use execmode).
