Depending on how difficult the task would be (and it shouldn't be too
bad, since installation is being handled by a program executing some
sort of generated script, right?), IBM should ship the media the
customer asks for plus both a 5.25" and 3.5" boot disk. This would only
add a small amount to the cost, but would probably reduce a lot of
headaches. Or IBM should make sure its order lines ask not just for what
floppy size the customer wants, but what floppy size the customer can
boot his or her computers from. Of course, this applies to OS/2 2.x
itself as well as development tools.
