- I found that YNARI prompt too, and 'retrying' failed to do anything. I
- looked at the log- it seemed to be having trouble unpacking
- \os2\dll\wincfg.dll, because it was in use. (pstat didn't report it as
- being loaded, though. very odd). Rebooting didn't help. It was ALWAYS in
- use.
- I fixed it by booting off floppy, deleting the file, and then
- booting back off the HD drive and running the selective install again.
- No YNARI. Win-OS/2 worked.
