Sounds good, Svobi, but I'm afraid I have to admit my ignorance... I can
figure out how to create the OS/2 standalone diskettes from a running
system, but how does one create a maintenance partition? Do you need to do a
regular install of Warp from scratch in a new partition, then upgrade it to
fixpack 16, or is there an easy way?
