 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.
