with reference to pressing enter. I guess that I was not very clear. After
the message:" DHCPSTRT: DHCP client did not get parameters. DHCPSTRT
continuing to try in background Press enter to continue" I DID press enter.
At that point the whole screen lit up with some 20 colored lines and
each line
containing blocks of color junk (as best as I can describe). The height
of the
lines was such that there was no intervening blank space between them,
and the
whole screen was blinking.

As a computer user as opposed to one who deals with the inner workings
of hardware
I must say that I was not aware that some components may not be readily
supported by
OS/2. When I went to MWAVE to order the tower, I had one of the
technicials select
the components that I wanted (80GB hard disk, CD-RW read/writer,
diskette drive
internal modem, a motherboard with good but not necesarily fastest chips
and NO
windows) on the only condition of having a long time warranty and the
whole to
cost less than $1000 (actually quite less).
