Yes, your impression is correct. If you can, get a copy of the May 2001
issue of "Extended Attributes" and read the article on OS2CSM (page 18),
by Jack Troughton. Jack states that eCS has the ability to boot the OS
from a CDROM, and that this capability is there because of OS2CSM.
OS2CSM is a utility that allows you to create a boot menu for OS/2,
enabling you to select different configuration setups from the
CONFIG.SYS file. Toward the end of the article Jack states that you can
create systems complete with installed applications on a CD and use on
most computers you run across.
