You're excused !

It was about time! OS/2 had a bootmanager already in v2.1 of 1993.
That was my first copy of the new operating system. That was followed
by Warp 3, and then Warp 4 plus FixPaks.

RN> Good grief!
No thanks, I'm not that interested in Windows, but I will install the
XP/pro I have to the ThinkPad I'm presently trying to install OS/2 on.
HG> That of course means that you have to be able to install OS/2 .....
RN> I figured that, but I can't install Warp on this machine. I've

Nice to learn that. Maybe I will someday fall into the Windows trap.
Well, I've been there until WFWG v3.11.
Windows 10 feels tempting and I've been promised the laptop of my
grandson as a XMas gift. That will be complete with Win10.
Christmas comes early here ;o)
Have a nice afternoon,
Holger
