DESCRIPTION

This document describes the IBM Configuration, Installation, 
Distribution (CID) enablement for OS/2 2.1.

RESOLUTION

Note: This document is not a substitution for the CID User's Guide.

The A LA CARTE installation method is more stable. If you use this 
method, be sure to follow this sequence; otherwise, you could have 
problems:

1. OS/2 Bases 2.x
2. NTS/2 (LAPS 2.11)
3. Communication Manager/2
4. LAN Requester 3.0
5. Any other options

Notes: 

1. Install LAN Adapter and Protocol Support (LAPS) if you are
   installing Communication Manager or LAN Requester.

2. Do NOT stop the CID installation process during the first 4 items to
   install something from diskette.

When using the A LA CARTE method, do a shutdown after each step. This 
is necessary to allow all programs to register with the system before 
the next step. The most critical is after LAPS is installed.

1. If you are prompted to select the next item, do NOT do it to save
   time. It could cause problems with the installation.

2. Make sure you shut down before closing the OS/2 Installation window.
   When you do a shutdown, OS/2 will record certain information about
   the open windows. The information is re-read when the system is
   restarted. CID uses this feature as part of the installation
   process. If a window is closed, it is not remembered at startup.
   This causes CID to abend.

3. If you can, format the partition. Starting fresh improves
   performance.

4. If the system stops after the message "Connecting to the CID
   server," the server is either down or being used to capacity. Try
   not to stop the system. If it stops, retry the last process you were
   performing.

5. Do not migrate Windows applications unless you are an experienced
   Windows user and familiar with Windows INI files.
 
6. If formatting for high performance file system (HPFS), remember that
   DOS does not recognize data stored in an HPFS partition.

7. If you do not have a startable DOS diskette, or are formatting for
   HPFS, save the CID diskettes. This lets you start the system from
   the diskette drive.

8. If repartitioning the hard disk, try to put OS/2, LAPS, and the
   Swapper file (SWAPPER.DAT) on the same drive.
