As I said, you won't know for sure until you try it!  The first
indication is to boot from the OS/2 install floppies.  About the time
it finishes with the second diskette (diskette 1) it will display a
message at the bottom of the screen to the effect 'hit F3 to go to the
command line'.  If it gets that far, it will probably install.  As for
the CDROM, Warp and Warp Connect come with a remote install program
which will build boot diskettes that bring up a mini-lan session that
allows you to install over a LAN connection - and you obviously have a
NIC in the clunker.

Give up on the 'file copy' - this ain't DOS.  Hopefully, I'll get this
package out to you shortly and you can begin to see what you can do. 
The Unleashed book is a nice reference but Moses had the only book I
know of that was written in stone so invest 15 minutes and see what
does or does not work in your machine.  I thought I would get this out
Friday but the stuff hit the fan at work today and I doubt I'll get to
DHL before Monday.
