Hi Jim,
I am not sure about the "sniffer".  I installed over my old Warp 3.0.  I
had some problems, so I formatted my partition with the intention of
restoring Warp 3.0.  Unfortunately, Back Again/2 wouldn't recognize my
last backup, so I was stuck with an empty /l formatted partition.  I
started the OS/2 Warp 4.0 install, and it installed just fine.  I have
also heard of others installing on empty partitions just fine as well.
I appreciate the ability to do so.  Thanks, IBM.

I won't argue with you here.  I was able to leave off some because I
don't have a network.  It runs well for me.
TTYL,
