Not to start another OS flame war, but....
Nothing wrong with THIS installer, as far as I know.

I've tried to install OS/2 at least 5 times. The last time I did it with
an IBM tech guy walking me through it on the phone. STILL no go. I've
done it by the book, I've done it using IBM's suggestions for correcting
the problem, etc; their conclusion: "it just doesn't like something about
your system." My system is vanilla--a 486/dx2, 8 Mb ram, 420 MB HD,
ordinary Trident video, no CD, no sound card, no funny drivers.

I've installed all kinds of software without a hitch; OS/2 is the *first*
program I couldn't get to work.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know. But IBM and Herb Tyson
have said that *they* are baffled, so I'm not going to hold my breath.
