-=[Dual-Boot for OS/2 Lite]=-

This should work with all OS/2 Lite Versions, but I can't garuntee 
it.  This is enable you to boot either DOS or OS/2 from your HD.  
This assumes that DOS was previously installed on your system, and 
you installed OS/2 Lite and did not remove ANY of your DOS files, if 
you did remove files, you must contact me (I only give support to 
register people).  YOU MUST HAVE A DOS BOOTABLE DISK TO INSTALL!  
Read the installation FULLY before attempting to install.


Installation:
─────────────
There are two files:

DBPREP.COM
BOOT.COM


Put DBPREP.COM in your Root directory, and BOOT.COM is your \OS2 
directory.  Next, rename your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files 
to CONFIG.OS2 and AUTOEXEC.OS2 and move them to the \OS2\SYSTEM 
directory.  If you had a CONFIG.SYS and a AUTOEXEC.BAT while you 
were running DOS, they should have been renamed to CONFIG.DOS and 
AUTOEXEC.DOS and should be in the root directory.  Next, renamed 
those CONFIG.DOS and AUTOEXEC.DOS to CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT, 
keep them in the root directory.(If they aren't there, you must have 
moved them or deleted them, just put your original DOS CONFIG.SYS 
and AUTOEXEC.BAT in the root directory).

Open and OS/2 Session, type:

DBPREP /PREP

A messages saying System is prepared for Dualboot should appear.  
Exit the session, and Shutdown.  Stick in your DOS Bootable disk, 
and re-boot, make sure your have SYS.COM on that disk.  When it 
boots, type:

SYS A: C:

(If you want, you can just re-install DOS.. but becareful, when 
installing MS-DOS, it will ask you to delete the OS/2 files, don't 
delete them!  Only MS-DOS will ask this, IBM DOS doesn't)

A message saying the System has been transfered should appear.  When 
it's all done, reboot.  Your system should now boot DOS, the same 
way before you installed OS/2 Lite.  You can now delete DBPREP.COM 
from you root directory.

Installtion is done.

Now, if you wanna boot OS/2 Lite again, goto your OS/2 directory and 
type:

BOOT /OS2 

And if you are in OS/2 Lite, and wanna boot DOS, type:

BOOT /DOS
