Ok, I must have the worst problem ever.  If there is any way that I can
install Warp ][, **PLEASE** help me!  Also, I would appreciate it if you
could reply to "sysop@cool.alt.za", as my board is not yet properly carrying
all the OS/2 groups, and I can not readily check these groups for replys.

The problem is as follows.  After starting the install, it crashes after
loading the IBM1FLPY.ADD file...  this, as most of you know, is fixed by the
keyboard file in the WARP2FIX.ZIP file (I just replaced the new files in the
zip over all the files on disk 1).

This doesn't help - but I discovered that if using those new files, but
retain your OLD ibm1flpy.add file, it get's past that point.  Now, here's
where *MY* problem starts.  After going through all the drivers on the disk,
the installer gives me something to the effect of:

'Unable to acces hard drive or floppy drive.  Unable to install OS/2 on this
computer.' and then the usual 'Please correct and restart...'  Now, the
problem is, this is the problem that is corrected with the NEW ibm1flpy.add
file!  So, WHAT THE (*%^&(%( CAN I DO???

I can't install Warp with the NEW file, but it can't install Warp with the
OLD file (or) I can't install Warp without the NEW file, but I can't install
Warp without the OLD file.

Is there any new IBM1FLPY file for me????????

Cheers
Gaven
