That's a good idea, I think we will do the same since we need a lot of 
different versions of OSes (especially older DOS versions) to test our 
software. Burning images to a CD should be much safer than floppy disks which 
are really crap quality.
Has anybody ever bootet OS/2 from a CD? Or at least loaded the parts of it 
that are used after the cd driver is up from a CD?

That's a big problem, since it is nearly impossible to buy identical machines 
over a longer period (more than 2 months). The manufacturers change graphic 
cards, sound cards, hard disks or SCSI controlers or the settings as they 
please. (But from the manufacturer's point of view: It is nearly impossible 
to get the same parts over a longer period.)

No, there is no such thing in WARP. And there is a program that you can use 
to change the one in NT.
