Isn't it wonderful that you have supported the OO development through your subscription and now can't benefit? That's a wonderful way to keep your customers happy and supplying you more money. In a world of bittorent, you would think software vendors would do everything they could to make subscriptions more inviting instead of less.

Also, I wonder often if the LGPL is being violated (even slightly) in this project.

I install Grub globally. From Grub, I can boot Linux, WinXP, or Bootmanager. BM has a very short timer with os/2 as the default.
i like booting Grub first because it means I can drop any linux distro in and not have to worry about grub getting muddled. I just keep an offline copy of menu.lst

I prefer the open.exe contained in the FM2 utilities:

ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/fm2/fm2utils.zip

There are some other nice jewels in there too.

2 things... I would suggest putting the OS/2 boot partition before the DOS. Make it 512 Mb or so and then create an OS/2 partition in the logical partition for all the extra stuff. You might be reaching a partition limitation if the OS/2 warp installation has not been updated. Which leads me to the second thing...
The original OS/2 installation is very antiquated. Try applying the following to your boot floppies:

Did you check the Test and Root account's environment files? I have not install SSES but the default install mentions creating a root and test account.

5. Screaming fast Filesystems - HPFS386, JFS.
6. The most customizable GUI ever. Drag and drop colors/fonts/themes anyone?

I've used Wildblue a little. I have only tested it with a wifi router between the wildblue's modem and my OS/2 box. Works fine. NOTE - with satellite, you are looking at very slow latencies. Forget about VPN. Forget about online gaming. Forget about responsiveness while browsing. I tried a few AJAX pages (google maps mainly) - it was a painful experience.

Good luck, and don't throw your POTS modem out yet.

I love AF/2 (Archive Folder). It is purely a front end for whatever archiver you use. AF/2 takes a little tweaking of the .BB2 file to get it to work with the latest info-zip versions. But it is HIGHLY customizable and integrates well with the WPS. It's getting a bit long in the tooth but still a worthy archive handler.

If I remember correctly, you can get use either CTRL+Drag or Shift+Drag to get it to save the changes when  when you resize it. Also, I'd try changing the font size then changing it back. Make sure you save your changes.

Quoting from http://www.os2ezine.com/20001116/odin.html

Another way to get full Joliet support is to access your CDROM using the excellent CD-writer software of RSJ (http://www.rsj.de) with the following command

cdattach z: -d g:

where g: stands for the drive letter of your regular CD-ROM and z: for the new drive letter you want to use to access your CD-ROM to get Joliet support.

You can detach the CD-ROM to eject the CD by issuing the command

cdattach z: -no_flush
