Solve : OS/2? |
|
Answer» I have a few questions about OS/2 (specifically WARP 3 & 4). 1. can OS/2 run Windows programs or not?I believe so- my version only WORKED for windows 3.1 (that is, it didn't work for 3.11 because MS had fixed a bug in user.exe and that totally changed everything that IBM had to patch) I believe that was resolved though... I have absolutely no idea as to the situation with OS/2 and 32-bit windows (I don't even know wether OS/2 has been discontinued). Quote 2. does it install over top DOS like Windows 3.xx or can it run without DOS like NT?The latter. But instead of CMD, you get PC-DOS. I'm pretty sure that PC-DOS is running in VIRTUAL x86 mode when you start a prompt in OS/2- much like windows- but, OS/2 is not running on top of DOS. really OS/2 is sort of a cousin to NT. Quote 3. does it install from a CD, is the CD bootable or does it need a boot floppy? It installs from a CD. my version needed a boot floppy but the later ones do not, to my understanding. Okay I want to dual-boot it with either 98SE or ME (and Linux & BSD after) so which is better to install first? Should I do OS/2 or 9x first? |
