You say install, do you mean restore. I have been messing with video
drivers lately. I have trouble getting rid of the residue. I have a
zip of the OS/2 partition. It is less than 200M. I just boot to floppy
and run a CMD file that formats the partition and unzips the backup, and
all is back where it was. Make a common configuration if you want, but
when different people do different things on different machines, one
size does not fit all. Also is your hardware identical? If it is not,
your configuration will not be.

Norton from 1994 is still working for me on FAT and Partition Magic from
1996 is still working on FAT and HPFS, and maybe EXT-2.
