  • Describe and use the media used to install OS/2.
  • Install OS/2 on an unused hard disk.
  • Describe Easy Install and Advanced Install and considerations when each is used.
  • Given a customer work load requirement, develop a plan for the swap file location and size.
  • Given an application work load description, determine the memory and hard disk space required for acceptable system performance.
  • Given a customer requirement, add or remove features on an installed system.
  • Given a customer hardware configuration and video requirement, install and configure video support as needed.
SECTION 3 - HARD DISK MANAGEMENT
  • Given a customer requirement, develop a plan for hard disk layout.
  • Use FDISK to configure the hard disk layout.
  • Given a customer requirement for multiple operating systems, install, configure, and use the Boot Manager.
  • Discuss issues of coexistence when multiple operating systems are installed on a system.
  • Given a customer requirement, plan a disk layout which enhances overall system performance and ease of maintenance.
  • Given a customer requirement and a disk layout, choose a file system for each drive which enhances overall system resource usage and performance.

  •  

     

SECTION 4 - ALTERNATIVE INSTALLATIONS
  • Install dual boot.
  • Given a customer environment where more than one operating system will be installed, recommend use of dual boot and/or Boot Manager.
  • Plan installations where OS/2 will be installed on systems with preexisting operating systems.
  • Given a customer requirement to preserve installed operating systems, plan for installation of OS/2 on existing DOS or OS/2 systems.
  • Add DOS and Windows to an OS/2 system.
  • Discuss issues when installing OS/2 Warp on a compressed drive.

  • Configure and manage the WIN-OS/2 print environment.
  • Configure printers so they can be shared or pooled.
  • Install printers during OS/2 Warp system installation.
  • Given a customer printing requirement, manage the OS/2 Spooler to meet the requirement.
  • Given a customer requirement, install font support.
  • Describe system resources used by fonts.
SECTION 6 - OS/2 SYSTEM FILES
  • Describe OS/2 INI files.
  • Given a customer CONFIG.SYS file, identify resources configured for the system.
  • Make changes to CONFIG.SYS.

  • Describe how applications are made available on the Desktop during system installation.
  • Given a DOS or Windows application requirement, customize the VDM environment.
  • Describe performance differences when running DOS and Windows applications full screen and windowed on the desktop.
  • Given a customer environment, install, configure and use VM Boot.
SECTION 8 - REDIRECTED INSTALLATION
  • Describe how the CID architecture supports the installation of OS/2.
  • Describe the difference between a local and remote install.
