SUMMARY
To install LAN Manager version 2.2 (with OS/2) remotely on multiple PCs (MS-DOS environment) is somewhat tricky. Follow this procedure:


 * 1) On the OS/2 server, build a tree with the OS/2, LANMAN, and root directories. You can do this only when the server is booted in MS-DOS. If OS/2 is only HPFS, boot off one of the old HPFS recovery diskettes and do it from there. Also, there are a couple hidden files you will want to get.
 * 2) Build an MS-DOS basic redirector boot disk.
 * 3) Boot the workstation with the boot diskette, and copy the tree from the server to the workstation.
 * 4) Put down the boot sector with debug.
 * 5) Change the LANMAN.INI file to the new computer name and the default user name.
