My fifth article on remote-booting diskless Windows workstations from
OS/2 Warp Server is available at 

  http://www.matem.unam.mx/~micho/ripl5.html 

The article describes new class of Windows RIPL requesters, based on
a bootable virtual 16MB superfloppy that holds the whole Windows
nucleus (GUI+32-bit networking). The nucleus is used to boot the
client and connect to the OS/2 Server in 32-bit mode. 

The sixth RIPL article (which is in preparation) will deal with
diskless systems booting Windows Millennium from OS/2 Warp Server.
For now,

http://www.matem.unam.mx/~micho/ripl6.html

explains in detail how to enable real-mode DOS support in WinME. This
is a very important step in setting up diskless WinME requesters
RIPLing from OS/2 Server, but I think this simple and elegant
procedure has an independent interest...
