At the selection screen arrow down to 'none', hit the spacebar, *then* return. If you just hit return you select 'OK' to install BootEasy and don't change the radiobutton. With libdialog you have to get into the habit of using space to select and enter to proceed. > Just installed 2.2.7 and not only Booteasy was installed, but for the > first time I am not able to get rid of it.

That was overkill.... > Questions > -How do I get rid of booteasy so I can re-install OS/2 boot manager? Simply run fdisk /mbr, then run fdisk again and select the Bootmanager partition as the active one.
