I want to install one just to play around with it. Haven't seen any tutorials.

7 years ago, in order to make the dual C drive trick happen, I ran all over the city to every computer software shop I could find. Hard work does pay off for the determined—
a month later I finally found an OS/2 edition at a very, very small software counter.
I took it home and opened it up—good lord, the surface of that CD was scratched all over, totally scuffed up. After putting it in the CD-ROM drive I could barely read a few directories. Luckily, to install a dual C drive I only needed the first two OS/2 installation disks, so I immediately COPY'd those two installation directories out and put them onto two floppy disks. Then I rebooted and took a look—my god! It turned out to be the standard Russian edition!!!
Still, those two disks could at least run normally, and relying on my "many years of experience" and "deep skill," I somehow forced myself to figure out that pile of Russian menus
In the end, by early the next morning I had successfully installed the dual C drive (and this was two mutually completely isolated C drives hard-partitioned out of a single HD, not something these current system managers can compare with! Too bad it doesn't support hard disks over 2G.)
After that, with this Russian OS/2 edition, I really strutted my stuff around our area for quite a while
Of course I've kept it to this day. Anyone want it?

Yes, if it's convenient, pack it up and upload it.
