 > ... 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?

Installation!!!!

 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).

You can't install the tcpip stack from the CD without graphics! Your best bet might be try
copying the files over from a working system!

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

You can try,,... that would be the ONLY way I could see it working!

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

Hhow many times do we have to say it,.. the TCPIP installation procedure will not run from the
CD without graphics, and I how could you even doo a RSU update with graphics,....case is
pretty much closed on this issue! :)
