---------------------------------------------

Installing S3 964 Drivers on OS/2 Warp
--------------------------------------
Symptoms

* Installation does not finish.
* Installation process locks up.

Resolution

Edit the S3INST.CMD file and change all references to x:\OS2 to 
x:\OS2\BOOT (x is the drive where OS/2 is installed).

The drivers cannot be installed in their original format because they
refer to the OS/2 directory. OS/2 Warp installs the drivers into the
OS2\BOOT directory.

Procedure

1. Insert the S3 Driver Diskette in the diskette drive.

2. Type the letter of the diskette drive (for example A:) and press
   Enter.

3. Type E S3INST.CMD and press Enter.

4. Change x:\OS2 to x:\OS2\BOOT (x is the drive where OS/2 is
   installed).

5. Save the file; then continue the installation.
