There are 203,816 bytes listed as Optional (including using cmd.exe)
so there is readily sufficient space to install the HPFS by deleting
some of those. There would still be room to add back in the Tiny
Editor plus some more.
TO CREATE the BOOTABLE Floppy
SYSINSTX,COM can be found on the WARP Install Diskette
Copy it to your existing WARP \OS2 directory and with a formatted
floppy in A: give the command
sysinstx A:
This will make the floppy a bootable disk - it transfers system files.
You can then use attrib -sh *.* on your C: root directory to make
the other files available and copy those (as listed above) to the
A: root drive. Then use attrib +sh on each of those files to make it
hidden again.
*****
I originally used the Create Utility option ti create the 3 floppy disks
that it does. I noted that only disk 1 and 2 are required for the boot
process. I also noted that this procedure did not allow the inclusion of
the additional drivers I needed (tape,optical,CD ROM) so using the
files included on these 2 drives and eliminating the superfluous ones
I arrived at the above combinations.
