Thank you !!!

THis is it!

THe README.OS2 file in the archive should be updated as it only mention libc063.dll... and not the newer versions.

Thanks a lot!

Hello everbody

I am currently running firefox 4.0.1 and would like to "upgrade" to the latest unoffical port 10.0.5.
I downloaded the archive and extract it into D: drive. I have therefore a new folder D:\firefox\.

When I double click on the firefox.exe file, the "Properties" dialogs opens... and that's it...

Did I missed something in the installation?

Thanks for your help.

I did create a small partition of 1gb to boot... but it did not work... the installer just don't like it...

Even ecs2 messed my drive...

For the time being, i use ecs successfully on a evo n800c, while my toshiba runs debian with window maker ...

Hello

For the time being... I give up  :-\

OS/2 does not like my Toshiba 220CS... or at least its 60GB hard disk...

I will try eCS 2.1 to see if it can run decently on such old configuration...

Edit: actually, eCS 2.1 does not like either this laptop... so back to windows 3.11 and 98 ...

Hello

THe config.sys looks right... The copyfromfloppy is set to 1. And indeed, during the installation process, it asked me to introduce both disquettes 1 and 2 anc copied lots of file to the c: drive.

I will try to create a updated bootable OS2 Wrap 4 installation CD...

Hello everybody

Ok, now my hard drive is properly recognized and fdisk successfully create the partitions (boot manager, c: as installable partition (primary 5 Gio) and d: as document partition (extended 15 Gb)...Installation succeeded until the first reboot when my PC just hang on the blue spash screen "OS2 Warp". According to the installation guide I found on the internet, I should end up on a configuration screen. Unfortunately, it never appears...

If anybody has an idea that could help me solve this problem?

Thanks for yout help.

Hello

Yes, i have choosen the advanced intallation... and use updated disks from http://www.warpdoctor.org/downloads.html.

Nevertheless, i still encounters a problem... fdisk just fails to format the installable partition...

So, i will try to follow the installation procedure found at http://www.deltasys.org/tips.html#config with boot manager partition to see if it does the trick...

Hello All

I would like to install OS/2 Warp 4 on my Toshiba Satellite 220CS (Pentium 133Mhz with 144Mb RAM and a Hardrive of 60GB)

I have the three installation disks and the installation CD.

But, once the system has loaded all three installation disks, I get the following error message:

SYS0039: The C: device is not ready

I have read on the net I should update to newer installation disks... but have ne idea a safe place to download them.

Thanks for your help.

Hi

Using the main volume control (set by defautl to 100%) do the trick.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks to all for you replies...

I finally choose for a used T43 with 1GB RAM, 40GB HARD DRIVE and a XSGA+ screen (1440x1050) with its docking station.

I had the possibility to buy a T60 for 25% more, but as I am looking for compatibility with eCS 2.1 more than pure performance, I think the T43 is a more sensible choice. My main use will be programming, (wired) surfing, email and basic office with openoffice. No image or video editing, no music listing, etc... so I do not think I would have use of more power ;)...

For the time being, I am running eCS 2.1 on a Compaq Evo N800c and it works perfectly well, except the fan which works a lot and make too much noise. Hope this will ne better with the T43 ;)

Thanks

Sorry if this question seemed stupid or useless...

Looks like the T43 is a better choice to run eCS 2.1.

Dear all

I am wondering which of these laptop is most compatible with eCS 2.1: the IBM Thinkpad T43 or the Lenovo Thinkpad T60? Both with a XSGA+ (1440x1050) screen.

My main usage will be: email + internet browsing + office work + programming... So I am not looking for pure performance, but really for compatibility and comfort of use.

Best regards

Hello

I just found pmFTE on the hobbes repository and I think I will stick with this one for the time which looks way more powerful than Watsom Works :)

Internet / Re: NetSurf port to OS/2?
2012.05.15, 23:12:06
Hi all,

Thanks for your answers.

Regarding NetSurf, I do not think that is is tight to GTK. THere are builds for AmigaOS et Atari Freemint and I doubt that GTK has been ported to these machines. I dount that GTK would run on a Falcon 030 ;)

Maybe in a few months, when I will be more experienced with OS/2 world and C programming.

Cheers

François
