  The OS/2* Warp Installation Assistance Kit prepares your Aptiva for
  the installation of OS/2 Warp. It also installs special code that
  makes both operating systems cooperate with one another. In fact, once
  you have installed OS/2 Warp, you won't know it's there unless you go
  to Warp from the Windows** 95** desktop.

  The OS/2 Warp Installation Assistance Kit contains the following:

    The OS/2 Warp Installation Assistance Program This program prepares
     your Aptiva so that you can install OS/2 Warp on the same primary
     drive C partition as Windows 95.

    The latest OS/2 Warp device driver for the IBM IDE CD-ROM drive.

    A program that sets up dual boot so that you can start your
     computer from either Windows 95 or OS/2. (You will not not be able
     to use this feature until after you have installed a copy of OS/2
     Warp.)

  BEFORE YOU BEGIN

  Before you install OS/2 Warp, you will need:

    A copy of OS/2 Warp - you must buy that.

     There are different OS/2 Warp software packages. OS/2 Warp that
     comes with Windows 3.1 and DOS support is recognized by the blue
     spine on its box. OS/2 Warp that comes without any Windows support
     and uses your existing Windows 3.1 and DOS software can be
     recognized by the red spine on its box.

     There are also two networking products: OS/2 Warp Connect with DOS
     but without Windows 3.1 support (red spine on its box); and OS/2
     Warp Connect with Windows and DOS support (blue spine on its box).

     To enable you to run Windows applications, we recommend that you
     install a version of OS/2 Warp or OS/2 Warp Connect that includes
     IBM's WIN-OS/2 software (blue spine on its box).  WIN95 does not
     have real DOS and Windows within it.  Blue spine OS/2 Warp will
     supply the missing parts.  Read the box carefully.

    The latest video and sound device drivers for OS/2 Warp. Check your
     bulletin board system (where you downloaded this kit) or the
     Internet. You can also contact the manufacturer for your video and
     sound device for more information.

    If you are installing OS/2 Warp from compact disc (CD), you will
     need one blank 1.44 MB diskette. Label the diskette "Diskette 1 -
     Replacement Diskette."

     We recommend that you print this document in its entirety so that
     you can refer to it when installing OS/2 Warp.

  TIPS ON INSTALLING MWAVE SOUND DRIVERS

     Refer to the information  on installation that came with the  MWAVE
      sound driver diskettes.

     During the installation of the MWAVE WIN-OS/2  drivers, you will be
      asked  to  identify a directory,  change  the  default directory to
      C:\MWWOS2.

     During the installation of the MWAVE DOS drivers, you will be asked
      to identify a directory, change the default directory to C:\MWDDOS.
      The installation program might add a [COMMON] statement in the OS/2
      CONFIG.SYS file. This will cause an error during the OS/2 start-up.
      You  must  edit  the  OS/2  Warp  CONFIG.SYS  file and  remove this
      statement.

     During  the installation of  the MWAVE MIDI drivers,  you  will  be
      asked  to identify  a directory, change  the  default to  directory
      C:\OS2\MDOS\MWAVE\SAMPLES.

   More tips:

     To  play a  music  CD in OS/2  multimedia,  open the Mwave for OS/2
      folder, start the  Auxiliary Control  program, make sure Line/CD is
      selected. The  important thing is to leave  the program running  --
      either opened or minimized -- while playing the CD.

     To use the Mwave Fax/Modem, open  the Mwave for  OS/2 folder, start
      the Mwave Modem program. Again, the important thing is to leave the
      program running -- either opened or minimized -- while  playing the
      CD.



  THE DIFFERENT OS/2 WARP SOFTWARE PACKAGES


   There are different OS/2  Warp software packages. OS/2 Warp that comes
   with  Windows 3.1 and DOS support is  recognized by the  blue spine on
   its box.  OS/2 Warp that comes without any  Windows support  and  uses
   your existing Windows  3.1 and  DOS  software can be recognized by the
   red spine on its box.

   There are also two networking products: OS/2 Warp Connect with DOS but
   without Windows  3.1 support (red  spine on its  box); and  OS/2  Warp
   Connect with Windows and DOS support (blue spine on its box).

   To  enable  you  to  run  Windows applications,  we recommend that you
   install a version of  OS/2  Warp  or  OS/2 Warp  Connect that includes
   IBM's WIN-OS/2 software (blue spine on its  box).  WIN95 does not have
   real DOS and Windows within it.  Blue  spine OS/2 Warp will supply the
   missing parts.  Read the box carefully.


  APPLICATION MIGRATION NOTE

   A  few  Windows applications that  were  preloaded, will not  function
   correctly under  WIN-OS/2,  due to  the  applications  being installed
   under Windows 95.  An example of this problem is Journalist.
