Use a CD-ROM in the first machine, install, setup network software. Move the 
CD-ROM to second machine, install, setup network software. End result is OS2 
on both machines. Unless you have a true Warp Server running already setup 
and configured, with a CID server you will not be doing any network installs. 
Had you a fully configured Warp Server network and a working CID server, you 
would use mini-laps to boot an OS2 set of install disks to load enough 
network driver support to link to the remote CID drive and continue the 
install. 
Trust me, unless you are planning to do hundreds of installs (and if you were 
I'd sooner use Power Quest drive image) you don't even want to think about 
anything but CD installs.
