I reinstalled again. (1 install, 2 selective installs of DOS/WINOS2)
and it works, now!

By the way, the Y N A R I error seemed to be because disk16
G:\OS2\DLL\WINCFG.DLL is locked because the file is in use.

Probably deleting this file before installation would have let it work.
Incidentally, it worked at the second selective install without doing anything
different!

Also, there is a bug in selective install.
You can only select 1 resolution to be installed (SVGA support).
The instructions say to select several.

I can't wait until they fix the install database so that I don't have to
insert 20 disks!
