NO, that's my point. I neither want or expect to fiddle. It has always
been my understanding that eCS was supposed to be for public
consumption. Therefore I expect it to be as easy to install as W2K. It
ain't even close.

It is my understanding that PCs are your day job, true? What you have
is a lot of learning curve behind you, and a large reference collection.

There is working and then there is working. On the technical side Win
gets some things done rather easily, but it is mostly kinda lame. And
it comes with a lot of baggage that I want no part of. If I want a GUI
OS/2 is my preference. But it seems to be fading into the sunset.

What I understood you say at the meeting was just eliminate jjscdrom and
the other drivers would get the job done. Or did you assume I would
swap in os2cdrom?
