COPYING THE RESPONSE FILE TO DISKETTE
_____________________________________

   The following is a list of the steps you would
   perform to modify a response file and then
   place the response file on a copy of Diskette
   1.  To copy the response file onto a diskette,
   you must make some modifications to Diskette 1.
   These modifications make room on the diskette
   for the response file.

   1.  Make a copy of Diskette 1.  You will modify
       the copy.

   2.  Make extra room on the copy of Diskette 1
       by deleting files that will not be needed
       in a response file installation:

       a.  Delete the MOUSE.SYS file from the copy
           of Diskette 1.

       b.  Delete the SYSINST2.EXE file from the
           copy of Diskette 1.

       c.  Delete the BUNDLE file from the copy of
           the Diskette 1.

       d.  If you are installing OS/2 2.1 on a
           Micro Channel(*) computer, delete the
           following file from your copy of
           Diskette 1:

               IBM1*.ADD

       e.  If you are installing OS/2 2.1 on a
           non-Micro Channel computer, delete the
           following files from your copy of
           Diskette 1:

               IBM2*.ADD
               *02.SYS

       f.  Edit the CONFIG.SYS file that exists on
           the copy of Diskette 1.

           1)  Change the SET OS2_SHELL statement
               from:

                      set os2_shell=sysinst2.exe

               to:

                      set os2_shell=rspinst.exe a:\os2se20.rsp

           2)  Delete the following statement:

                      device=\mouse.sys

           3)  If you are installing OS/2 2.1 on a
               Micro Channel computer, delete the
               following statements from the
               CONFIG.SYS file on your copy of
               Diskette 1:

                   BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD
                   BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD

           4)  If you are installing OS/2 2.1 on a
               non-Micro Channel computer, delete
               the following statements from the
               CONFIG.SYS file on your copy of
               Diskette 1:

                   BASEDEV=IBM2FLPY.ADD
                   BASEDEV=IBM2ADSK.ADD
                   BASEDEV=IBM2SCSI.ADD

   3.  Make a copy of the SAMPLE.RSP file (located
       in the OS2\INSTALL directory).

   4.  Use an editor (such as the System Editor)
       to modify and save the file.  The file
       contains comments that explain each of the
       installation options.  Make sure you delete
       the commented lines when you modify the
       file.

   5.  Copy the modified response file to the copy
       you made of Diskette 1.  Use the name
       OS2SE20.RSP when you copy the file.

   6.  Copy the RSPINST.EXE file (located in the
       OS2\INSTALL directory) to the copy of
       Diskette 1.

]  7.  If you are installing OS/2 2.1 from
]      diskettes or a CD-ROM you will also need to
]      modify the Installation Diskette.
]
]      a.  Make a copy of the OS/2 2.1
]          Installation Diskette.
]      b.  Delete the *.BIO and ABIOS.SYS files
]          from the copy of the Installation
]          Diskette.
]      c.  Copy the *.BIO and ABIOS.SYS files from
]          the Reference diskette for your
]          computer to the copy of the
]          Installation Diskette.
]      d.  Use the copy during the installation
]          process instead of the original.

   8.  Begin the installation of the workstation
       by inserting the Installation Diskette and
       restarting the system.

   9.  When prompted for Diskette 1, insert the
       modified copy of Diskette 1, and press
       Enter.

   From this point, the installation program will
   prompt only for the insertion of diskettes.  No
   other installation screens will appear.

   Note:  When prompted to insert Diskette 1
   again, insert the original copy of Diskette 1.

   This procedure can be used to install the same
   set of options on multiple workstations.  Using
   a response file, you can make sure that a group
   of workstations is set up with the same set of
   options.
