Installing Fixpaks from a local Hard Drive using the IMAGE files.

Updated for CSF 141

These instructions cover Warp 4, Fixpak 11 using the IBM recommended CSF 141
Utility in conjunction with a 3rd party utility to automate the installation process.


NOTE:
There are always occasional reports from users with every Fixpak
ever released regarding problems when installing Fixpaks.

While no guarantees are made, the method described below has been successfully used
by myself, to apply Fixpak 11 to a Warp 4 System.

What you need.

Step by Step Instructions
    1.You'll need FastKick141.zip

    service.software.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v4warp/english-us/xr_m011
    and, using BINary mode, get all the files in that directory.


    3.Create a directory to hold the files and the installation utility

    4.Unzip FASTK141.ZIP to this directory

    5.Copy all of the image files and readme files that you FTP'd from the XR_M011 directory to this same directory.

    6.Open an OS/2 Command Prompt (window or full screen) and Change to that Directory.

    7.Type the following command at the OS/2 prompt:

    for %1 in (*.?dk) do diunpack %1


    8.Again, from the OS/2 Command prompt, run FIX.CMD.

That's all there is to it. Follow the onscreen prompts, and perform a shutdown and re-boot when the installation has completed.
