   Default OS/2 Installation Diskettes/Floppies   
      
       Hi there,   
      
       Not sure if this answers all your questions regarding creating the OS/2   
   installation diskettes from CD.   
      
       1. Copy the directory \DISKIMGS\OS2\35 from your OS/2 CD to your local   
   drive. (i.e. c:\os2)   
       2. Copy all the files from \DISKIMGS to the same directory. (i.e. c:\os2)   
       3. To create the first bootable installation diskette, at the command   
   prompt, type XDFCOPY disk0.dsk a: (a: being your floppy drive)   
       4. Repeat for all the installation diskettes in the directory (i.e.   
   XDFCOPY disk1.dsk a: for the next one)   
       5. If you want to use the OS/2 CD and save some diskettes create the   
   bootable diskette (disk0.dsk) and then create the CD diskette (disk1_cd.dsk)   
   and you're good to start your install.   
      
       Hope this helps,
