OS/2
Summary:
The following are some estimates of hard disk space/size requirements
that can be used when installing OS/2, OS/2 LAN Manager, DOS LAN
Manager, or MS-DOS:
Program Size
------- ----
OS/2 1.2 9.761 megabytes (MB)
OS/2 LAN Manager 2.0 5.396 MB
DOS LAN Manager 3.235 MB
MS-DOS 4.01 1.287 MB
.IMG files typically 600-700K
All OS/2 remote boot workstations have private copies of
workstation-specific files, such as CONFIG.SYS, STARTUP.CMD,
OS2INIT.CMD, LANMAN.INI, OS2.INI, OS2SYS.INI, AUTOEXEC.BAT,
SWAPPER.DAT, and some LAN Manager subtrees (PROFILES, LOGS, ACCOUNTS,
REPL); however, they share a central copy of common OS/2 and LAN
Manager utilities (such as OS2\DLL\*.DLL and LANMAN\NETPROG\*.EXE).
If a rippled (RPL'd) workstation uses part of the server's OS/2 and
LAN Manager trees (requiring more shares and modified .FIT files) to
share some of the common OS/2 and LAN Manager utilities between the
server itself and all remote boot workstations, some of the additional
15 MB for each OS/2 / LAN Manager tree can be saved. In that case, the
nested OS/2 and LAN Manager trees are unnecessary; however, now the
server and all the remote boot workstations must use the exact same
versions of the operating system and LAN Manager. Also, it will not be
possible to update one without also updating the other.
