-> I remember seeing in here a few months ago a message regarding how to
->install os/2, win95 and dos in seperate partitions on a boot manager
->system. I know that you have to install win95 first (and no i dont
->really want to install it but i want to play quake2 etc!!) so could
->anyone please post those instructions again.
->I will be doing the installation on a fresh empty drive and will be
->using Warp4
    well, you have it wrong my friend :) you first install os/2, with Boot
Manager. Once os/2 is working, then you make another primary partition on the
same hard drive as os/2. To this you install DOS.. 
    Install dos the way you normally would; by booting off the boot disks and
installing from them.. Then to this partition you install Win '95.. once
that's installed you set the os/2 boot manager partition as being the Startup
partition in the win '95 fdisk, and then once in os/2 you go into the disk
manager and add the second primary partition to the boot manager.. that 
hould
cover it.. to run dos i personally just use win '95 and tell it to reboot in
dos mode.. but you can repeat the above steps and just skip the installing of
win '95 part to get a separate dos partition..
