Well, I downloaded the CD image again and this time when I connected the ISO to virtual PC it worked so the first download must have been corrupt.
I have been doing some testing on Virtual PC pointing the ISO image from VPC with a standard install, a Combo install with the IBM Boot Manager and a migration.
With RC6 I had some problems because the boot manager seemed to be corrupted on that release making my PC unbootable, however I was able to fix it. Now with the GA I see there is a boot manager migration which worked great. So a combo install with the IBM boot manager works fine.
The migration from 1.2 to 2.0 worked fine too. I did have some things that did not migrate like LSwithcer and an old ECS clock, but I was able to copy the LSwithcer back and it worked fine and I did not need the old clock.
So, now I am ready to install on the empty partition I have been saving for so many years but for me it was worth the wait. The Samba works great. The OOO works great.
I do wish there was a current version of flash though.
