I just re-installed os/2 4.00. That went OK. But, something went
terribly wrong when I tried to install FP15. (Which I've done before,
without this happening.) It seemed to want to install the FP on all 3
of my partitions, instead of just on c:. At the time, I didn't
understand that, and let it go ahead. It wanted archives defined for
each, and I (foolishly) made two of these the same. So, it hung up,
and I aborted.

Now, when I try to install the FP again, the only choice it offers in
to continue the interrupted FP installation - which immediately errors
out, because of the bad archive choice.

I'm guessing that the only thing to do is start over with a clean
install. I'd appreciate any suggestions/experience.

Thanks,
George

Never mind: I deleted c:fixstart, c:ibmcsflk.blk and the FP install
started from the top. This time, I paid more attention, and selected
only c: for the upgrade. Digging my way out of the hole I've dug.

This is from the read.me file of the csf utility :

If you have deleted the ARCHIVE directory and cannot install a FixPak
because FixTool cannot find the ARCHIVE directory, you should delete the
LOGF0000.*** and LOGSTART.*** files, where *** is the 3-character
extension on the product's syslevel file. For example, LOGF0000.OS2 and
LOGSTART.OS2 should be deleted for OS/2 base FixPak installation. These
files are in the directory with the syslevel.*** file.
