Welcome back to the OS/2 World :)

Good to know! I haven't tried a USB install yet, so I'll make note of
that.

I forget what my main system has, but it's way more than enough for
OS/2 needs. I think it might be 16gb and I have 8gb ramdrive or maybe
it's 8gb with a 4gb ramdrive. Eitherway, the machine is hardly ever
sluggish. Except when I open up Firefox, that can take a few more
seconds than usual.

 I have 2 old IBM Thinkpads that I have Arca installed on as backups
for my BBS machine. And it runs great on them. They are just basic
installs of 5.0.3 I think, and if the BBS hardware ever fails, I can
unzip the backup on one of the Thinkpads and be back running fairly
quick.
