> ... you need the GUI to install the TCIP stack ...

Okay, I'm learning here. What does the GUI have to do with the TCP/IP
stack?

1. Do you mean installing the TCP/IP stack at each bootup? I poked
around some to see what I could figure out, and I found a few lines in
CONFIG.SYS with the string "tcp" and a lot of stuff in the \tcpip\
subdirectory. But I don't understand the link between TCP/IP and the
GUI. The closest I got was the TCP/IP Configuration window, which
obviously uses the GUI, but it probably just updates a control file and
that control file could be updated by a non-GUI program (or copied from
a machine that had a GUI, or even modified with a binary or text editor
depending on the control file's format).

2. Do you mean the initial installation of OS/2? Can't the necessary
files just be copied from another machine?

Educate this poor neophyte. Where does not having the GUI available
break the TCP/IP installation?
