For example:

The instructions on installing os/2 mwave drivers alone is 7 pages
long! It didn't mention anything about enabling the serial
port from the BIOS either.  If the port is not enabled, 
com.sys is not coppied to os2/boot.  You then scrambling
to find out where you can locate com.sys from the install CD.
