Defenitely not!!!

On the contrary, when the /s switch would be added, the entire operation will be
jeopardized!!! (mangling EA etc...)

To say again:

To *MOVE* move the *.ini files, EA etc to another partition, move by using the objects
in the drives object. In order to update automagically the *.ini files.

If everything has been  *MOVED* that way  to the new partition, you can't have a boot
still. So in order to *COPY* the systemfiles, AND THE SYSTEMFILES ONLY,

use:

xcopy x:\ f:\ /h /o /t /e /r /v

And after having altered the file config.sys, you must able to boot from the new
partition, on condition some kind of bootmanager points to it. VPart is the handy tool
here.

Yes, you are correct, I didnt read your's and others original posts
in there entirety, so I didnt realise it was a) to a different drive,
and b) system files only so as not to stuff the ea's and new drive
reassignments.

Subject: [os2genau] Long filenames with Win98 shares

Hi,
Using the OS/2 peer requester, I tried to access a Win98 box share on my
LAN.
Problem was only could see the 8.3 filenames.

What is the fix for this?

H'mm - same as looking at a Win 9x partition from an OS/2 one.

What type of networking were you using ?  SMB ? FTP ?

Cheers/2

Upgrade the Win98 box to NT, 2000 or OS/2 :)

Unfortunately, the networking in Win9x/ME sees OS/2 networking as not
understanding long file names.  It's something to do with the NETBIOS
version that OS/2 tells Windows it's using.  I found the following
earlier this year (I think it was in an old Voice newsletter, but I'm
not sure).  I tried it, on one of my systems, but it didn't work.

----------------------------
Yes, but it's fairly ugly. Win9x exports the short names to OS/2
because
OS/2 advertizes itself as supporting only an older version of
the NetBIOS protocol (LM10).

Unfortunately, if you tell OS/2 to support the newer protocol (NB30)
the
NetBIOS drivers won't load. Or wouldn't as of Warp 4 with
no Peer fixpaks applied, at least.

Workaround:

copy \IBMLAN\IBMLAN.INI to \IBMLAN.W9X
in IBMLAN.W9X, change all occurrences of LM10 to NB30
boot without starting requester
CD \IBMLAN
REN IBMLAN.INI IBMLAN.OS2
REN IBMLAN.W9X IBMLAN.INI
NET START PEER
REN IBMLAN.INI IBMLAN.W9X
REN IBMLAN.OS2 IBMLAN.INI

(You could conceivably add the above to NETSTCMD.CMD (IIRC) and let the
requester start at boot, instead.)

This should cause Peer to advertize NetBIOS 3.x compatibility, enabling
long
file names.
