After downloading the files for the OS2 2.1 beta, how does one install them without floppies? Or, if floppies are required, can I dispense with them after loading the files on the hard disk? I tried to change the mouse and it started asking for the floppies again. Is there some way to tell it to get its files from the hard disk and/or to just use the files it already has? Do I need the documentation from OS2 2.0 before I can get started with 2.1? This is the first time I've used OS2 so I'm not 100% sure I know what I'm doing. For example, when I tried clicking on the dual boot icon, it flashed a black window at me with a one line message at the top of it, for a fraction of a second. Each time I click on the dual boot, it does the same thing, so I can read the message by clicking repeatedly and reading one word each time it flashes that window. But unfortunately, I can't read the whole message that way, because it extends beyond the edge of the window, and the window doesn't stay up long enough to enlarge it.
