thanks to everyone who responded. i'm going to try and
implement some of your suggestions. i think a few people
asked why am i trying for the minimal install since i have
the disk space. part of the answer is curiosity. most of
os/2's features won't be needed for the intended purpose,
so i want see how small i can trim os/2 and still have a
functional terminal. as for the wps, the machine isn't
powerful enough to run a gui effectively. i've got no
problems beefing up the ram for installation if necessary.
i'll just trim that too when the system's up and running.

i'll try the suggestions this weekend when i have time.

patrick.
