To Create Additional Space on Installation Diskette #1
Make a backup copy of your Diskette 1 (D1). 
Delete the old versions of the drivers from D1. If there is enough room on D1, copy the new versions of the drivers onto your D1 diskette. 
If there is not enough room on D1, delete CDINST.EXE, which should free about 16K. If more space is required, delete one or two filename.ADD's from D1 that are not required for installation. You must also delete the corresponding CONFIG.SYS statement or OS/2 Install will not complete. 
Note: The following files must NOT be deleted from D1: 
CLOCK01.SYS 
CLOCK02.SYS 
IBM1S506.ADD 
IBM1FLPY.ADD 
IBM2FLPY.ADD 
IBM2ADSK.ADD 
IBM2SCSI.ADD 
IBMINT13.I13 
IBMKBD.SYS 
KBDBASE.SYS 
OS2LOGO 
OS2DASD.DMD 
RESERVE.SYS 
RESOURCE.SYS 
SCREEN01.SYS 
SCREEN02.SYS 
XDFLOPPY.FLT 
For example, you may remove the AIC7770.ADD or AIC7870.ADD device driver from D1. Choose the one for which you do not have an adapter in your system. This will free up an additional 40,000 bytes each. Edit the CONFIG.SYS on D1 to remove the corresponding statement in the CONFIG.SYS file by adding "rem" before the statement. 
Edit the CONFIG.SYS file on D1 and: 
Add SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1 
Save the changes. 
Start the installation with the Installation Diskette. 
When you are prompted for Diskette 1, use the diskette you modified. 
Proceed with the installation. 
If during the installation process or when restarting your system you lose connection to your hard disk or CD-ROM, make sure that the device driver statement is in the CONFIG.SYS file and the new versions of the device drivers with the has been copied to the \OS2\BOOT\ directory. Use the date of the file to distinguish the newer versions.
