Anyway, I'm trying to install Warp4 Fixpak 15. I have FP14 installed which was easy. The instructions in the documentation are confusing. It seems there are several ways of installing it. So I tried this one: in the OS/2 window at the command prompt, I typed "FPINST Warp4". A message came up saying "Insert CSD Diskette 1 into drive a". How or where do I get that disk? If this is of any help, unzipping the FP15 file expands as follows: FOLDER FILES ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fixpak15 Docs Folder Fix Folder Fixtool Folder csf_disk 1 kb 4/12/2000 csf_disk_1 1 kb 4/12/2000 csf_disk_2 1 kb 4/12/2000 Docs readme files Fix OS2.1 Folder (containing relevant files) Fixtool (containing relevant files) And what do the csf_disk files do? As you can see, I'm not familiar with the csf & csd disks, never having to work with them.

The only command files are: fpinst.cmd; fpinst_1.cmd; fpinst_2.cmd. I dont understand what the command lines u wrote have to do with the install.cmd file.

There is in http://www.os2site dot com/sw/upgrades/warp4/fixpack15/index.html >I dont understand what the command lines u wrote have to do with the >install.cmd file. Another way to do it, which is they way I've used in the past after analysing IBM's RSU installs. Make a directory on a harddisk of your choice which has ample space called, say, "d:\FIX15". Download all files EXCEPT the xr_m*.zip to this directory. Make a directory called d:\FIX15\OS2SERV, download all of the xr_m*.zip files to this directory. using "UNZIP", unzip all of the *.zip files in there relevent directories, this will also create any needed directories and place the files into the required directories. PS use either pkzip /extract, or the earlier unzip.exe from IBM's TCPIP\BIN directory, the latest unzip's don't always unzip to subdirectories, and use the same decompression, depending on the version you are using. Go to the "D:\fix15 directory, type "OS2SERV", have fun :-) ==== This method has always worked for me but apparently some people do have problems with it. There are also utilities available to do the same thing.
