- I reinstalled again. (1 install, 2 selective installs of DOS/WINOS2)
- and it works, now!
-
- By the way, the Y N A R I error seemed to be because disk16
- G:\OS2\DLL\WINCFG.DLL is locked because the file is in use.
-
- Probably deleting this file before installation would have let it work.
- Incidentally, it worked at the second selective install without doing anything
- different!
-
- Also, there is a bug in selective install.
- You can only select 1 resolution to be installed (SVGA support).
- The instructions say to select several.
-
- I can't wait until they fix the install database so that I don't have to
- insert 20 disks!
