FixPak Installation Utility has been developed to easily install OS/2 System FixPaks. This program allows you to install FixPaks directly from hard disk or CD-ROM, removable or not and also to distribute them over a LAN. You only need to recreate desired Fixpak floppy disk images rebuilding the distribution structure on your supports.

OS2SERV X:\PATH_TO_CSF X:\PATH_TO_FIXPAK

Where X:\PATH_TO_CSF is the directory containing the Corrective Service Facility and X:\PATH_TO_FIXPAK is the directory containing the rebuilded distribution structure of desired FixPak to apply.
