HELP!!!!

I just tried to install OS/2 on my 486-66 clone.  Everything went fine
until it finished reading the Display Driver #1 diskette.  Then it
said something like:

Insert the diskette with the following name:

^

Yes, the name was a single caret!!!!  I tried Display Driver #2 and #1,
but neither worked.  I pressed Escape, and it went on to do some
work.  Then it said something like "Cannot find UNPACK.EXE".

I hit a key and now I have a window entitled "Installing Display
Drivers" with the text "Please wait".  It's been sitting there for
10 minutes and I think it's hung.

The only unusual thing I can think of about my setup is that in
addition to the VGA primary display I have a monochrome secondary
display.

Is that a problem?  Come to think of it, it never asked me what
resolution I wanted for the VGA.  I did fill in info about a
secondary display, though.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.  Please email me at
kbennett@access.digex.net.  If you have the answer, feel free to call
me station to station collect (if you're in the continental US) at
(301) 929-8500.

Thanks.
