- Exploring Feature Install — Part 2: Advanced Installation Topics
by Alex Taylor - Mention Feature Install, and most OS/2 users immediately think of the annoying web browser front-end that many IBM products (like Java or TCP/IP) inflict on them during installation.

In this installment, Alex Taylor explains how to use it in CID mode.
