Warp 3 Red has to be installed after Win 3.1: TRUE in most cases.  Win
3.1 can in fact reside on ANY fat-formatted  partition and there were
some people who claimed to have gotten it installed on HPFS - runs only
under OS/2 that way - and I recall seeing a way to add Win 3.1 after
OS/2 is installed but that is ancient history by now.

As for the rest, Warp 3 can be installed on ANY bootable partition.
FAT/ HPFS is not an installation determinant nor is the precise
partition.  The only requirement is that the partition containing Win
3.1 be accessible by OS/2.  This usually results in DOS/Win 3.1 on C:
FAT with OS/2 on D: or higher, preferably on HPFS.
