Simon In addition to requiring new IDE drivers for drives larger than 4 gb, Warp 3 will stall right after the first reboot if its partition ends after 2 gb. This is a Warp3 bug for which someone recommended a workaround by using SYSINSTX from a command prompt (I have not tested this). If you want to avoid the problem, install Warp 3 all below 2 gb. As regards installing Warp AFTER Win95, if Warp has access to the Win95 partition, it will by default attempt to "copy" your Win95 setup. I am not sure that this is desirable for applications (I think not), but I am sure there is a bug if you DON'T install a network card. The bug will prevent launching a Win-OS/2 session later. To avoid this, when you come to the page where you confirm that you want Win-OS/2 during installation, select MORE on that line and you will see one or two additional panels where you will be offered a migrated setup or a standard Win-OS/2 setup. Select standard (which is not the default). NB. I have cut down your list of newgroups.
