                   OS/2 WARP VERSION 3
                   INSTALLATION README


  Welcome to OS/2* Warp Version 3 (OS/2 Warp).
  OS/2 Warp does a lot of the work involved in
  installing an operating system for you, and includes
  the following improvements:

  o   It takes less time and fewer diskettes to
      install.
  o   It automatically installs the Dual Boot feature
      when you install over DOS.
  o   You can install more than one printer during the
      initial installation.

  We hope you find installing OS/2 Warp to be a quick
  and easy process.  This README contains the latest
  information available about installing OS/2 Warp.
  You can also find additional information in
  the "User's Guide to OS/2 Warp."

  1.0     FORMAT ERRORS WHEN INSTALLING OS/2 ON 4MB COMPUTERS
          ___________________________________________________

  When installing OS/2 on some 4MB computers, you might not
  be able to format the installation partition.  You will
  see the following error message:

    Disk Format Error

  If so, discontinue the OS/2 installation and do the
  following:

  1.  Insert the DOS Setup diskette 1 from a DOS
      package into drive A.
  2.  Turn on your computer.  If your computer is
      already on, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart it.
  3.  When the DOS Setup screen appears, press F3 to
      display a command prompt.
  4.  Use the DOS FORMAT command to format the
      partition you want to use to install OS/2.  Refer
      to your DOS documentation for information about
      the FORMAT command.
  5.  Begin the OS/2 installation again.  If the
      Installation program asks if you want to format
      the installation partition, select Do Not Format
      the Partition.


  2.0     NOTE TO USERS OF NETWARE CLIENT VERSION 2.10 FOR OS/2
          ________________________________________________________

  Be aware of the following before installing OS/2
  Warp:

  o   The LOGIN.EXE command can no longer be executed
      from the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file.  To correct this
      situation, move the LOGIN.EXE command to the
      STARTUP.CMD file.

  o   If your configuration requires that you execute
      the LOGIN.EXE command from the CONFIG.SYS file,
      contact your NetWare** support line to obtain
      special versions of NWDAEMON.EXE and
      SPDAEMON.EXE.


  3.0     VIDEO SCREEN PROBLEMS
          _______________________

  The OS/2 Installation program automatically detects
  the graphics adapter or chip in your system.
  However, if the refresh rate for the resolution you
  have chosen is configured incorrectly, you might
  experience problems such as:

  o   The Desktop is compressed into a narrow
      horizontal band.
  o   Multiple images of the Desktop are visible.
  o   Diagonal lines fill the Desktop.

  To configure the refresh rate, use the configuration
  utility program that came with your graphics adapter
  or system.  Follow the instructions supplied by the
  manufacturer to set the screen refresh rate.  (In
  many cases, the utility must be run under DOS.)  When
  you are finished running the configuration utility
  program, shut down and restart OS/2 so that the
  changes will take effect.

  If you are unable to run the configuration utility
  program for your graphics adapter or system, try one
  of the following:

  o   Restart your computer and press Alt+F1 when a
      small white box appears in the upper-left corner
      of your screen.  Then select V to reset your
      system to VGA mode.
  o   If you can see enough of the screen to use the
      mouse, open the System Object (in the System
      Setup folder) and select a lower resolution on
      the Screen page.  Then close the System Object,
      shut down OS/2, and restart your computer so that
      the changes will take effect.


  4.0     NOTE TO USERS OF A THINKPAD WITH A DOCKING STATION
          _____________________________________________________
          OR A PS/2 MODEL 76
          __________________

  If you are installing OS/2 on an IBM PS/2* Model 76
  or an IBM ThinkPad* attached to a docking station,
  you must follow the instructions in "User's Guide to
  OS/2 Warp" before you begin the installation.  (These
  instructions are described in the section titled
  "Using an IBM ThinkPad with a Docking Station or an
  IBM PS/2 Model 76.")

  If you are installing on a 240MB or 340MB hard disk
  that uses the IBM2HDSK.ADD device driver, you must
  follow the additional steps listed below.  These
  steps should be performed after you complete step 13
  in the procedure described in "User's Guide to OS/2
  Warp."

  1.  Remove any diskette from drive A and insert OS/2
      installation Diskette 1.
  2.  Copy the file IBM2HDSK.ADD onto OS/2 installation
      diskette 1.
  3.  Edit the CONFIG.SYS file.

      If you have an ASCII text editor installed, you
      can use it to edit the CONFIG.SYS file.
      Otherwise, you can use the editor that comes on
      the OS/2 installation diskettes by typing TEDIT
      CONFIG.SYS at the OS/2 command prompt.
  4.  Add the following line as the first of the
      BASEDEV entries in the CONFIG.SYS file:

        BASEDEV = IBM2HDSK.ADD

  5.  Save the changes to CONFIG.SYS and continue with
      installation.

  After installation is finished, make sure that file
  IBM2HDSK.ADD is in the OS2\BOOT directory, and that
  the line BASEDEV=IBM2HDSK.ADD is in your CONFIG.SYS
  file.


  5.0     NOTE TO USERS OF A THINKPAD 720
          _______________________________

  On a ThinkPad 720, install OS/2 Warp using only the
  internal LCD screen if you plan to run OS/2 Warp
  without an external monitor attached at any time.  If
  you install OS/2 Warp with an external monitor
  attached, you need to rebuild the .PMI in order to
  run without the external monitor.
