For those who are interested in a bootable Warp CD nonetheless I can give you the following link: w4bootcd.html That way you do not need to create an OS/2 boot cd. Almost all BIOSes don`t have a problem to boot from them.

If you want to install OS/2 Warp on a notebook just buy an external USB floppy drive. Note that I have told you that any OS/2 installation beyond the first 8GB will not boot (since updated boot disks are not yet available). The best thing to try out OS2 Warp would be an old Pentium III with floppy drive which you can entirely use for OS/2. or buy an eComstation for better hardware support. Do not continue if that error occurs rather try to use my disks with updated Dani`s drivers.

The old ibm1s506 driver on the other hand often has problems with the disk geometry and OS/2 Warp returns 'error trying to access disk' directly before the installation screen appears. It seems to be an incompatibility with the IDE controller of the main board. For instance on one of my old computers Dani`s driver just indicates with three beeps that it can not access the disk. Use my own disk images (last line) with the new Dani`s disk driver but don`t panic if it does not work. To my personal experience the Lenovo Thinkpad boot disks are a bit newer than the WarpDoctor boot disks though all of them are basically outdated. Nonetheless you should also be able to use a pure disk image under OS/2 or the eComstation by issuing the xdfcopy command. Issue the following command in a Linux console to make a boot disk from one of the images: dd if=WarpBootElm-1.img bs=512 of=/dev/fd0 cmp /dev/fd0 WarpBootElm-1.img & echo ok For your convenience I have provided some of them as pure disk images which can directly be used under VirtualBox or Linux. Note that all these boot disks do originally come in the flavour of self extracting executable files so that you would have to have an existing OS/2 Warp or eComstation installation or boot CD in order to create the disk images.

To circumvent this restrictions you will have to download one of the following disk images: 4GB is pretty much enough for the core system as with the primordial ibm1s506 disk driver only 2GB of disk space and 512MB of memory could be accessed. eComstations do nowadays install on JFS by default while I recommend you just to make a 4GB primary HPFS booting partition with OS/2 and add a big augmented JFS partition by hand later on. HPFS is only readable under Linux while JFS is a much more stable file system which can fully be made use of also by Linux. That way you could bypass restrictions as the 8GB booting barrier or the limitation to the HPFS file system.

You can see it as an advantage rather than a disadvantage because that will allow you the customization of disk drivers and the kernel for the installation. The first thing you will have to note when deploying OS/2 Warp 4 is that it comes with three boot disks which are required because the original Warp 4 installation CD does not boot. With a Lenovo Think Pad you will have direct support by Lenovo to run OS/2 Warp. The sources of the kernel are well protected so that potential writers of rootkits do not have access to them.

Studies have shown that in order to implement a secure operating system at least three protection levels need to be used. The third protection level is here for userspace device drivers like the many graphics drivers supporting fast hardware accelaration. OS/2 Warp has a safe kernel using three of four protection levels of your intel CPU instead of using only two hardware protection levels like Windows, MacOS, Linux or FreeBSD. There are no rootkits and spyware for OS/2 Warp - and there will never be (while there are already many root kits put around for Linux and FreeBSD). OS/2 Warp may be the safest operating system ever available.

You can install it in addition to Windows or any other operating system. It is the ideal replenishment for your Lenovo Thinkpad.

OS/2 Warp is worth a special recommentation to Lenovo Thinkpad users.

OS/2 Warp is known to work on a variety of elder 32bit and also newer hardware.
