I'm getting a copy of OS/2 1.2 on 1.2M and would like to make a
bootable copy.  Is the procedure in the manual?  I'm brand-new to OS/2.

Also, I have a friend with a Model 50 running OS/2 1.0 (!) with 
a suspect Install diskette.  OS/2 is already up and running on his
hard drive.  How do I go about creating a bootable backup distribution
from the installed OS on his hard drive?  Will format a:/s work as it
does for DOS?

Please respond via email.

Thanks!!
