He's probably thinking of environment variables, paths, etc. in the
config.sys. I recently dragged and dropped Visual Age C++ (170 meg!)
from F: to E: (was making room for a linux partition) and I had to
manually search/replace F:\IBMCPP to E:\IBMCPP in my config.sys.

This sucks but since VAC++ insists on setting a billion environment
variables in the config.sys, there's no way around it.

If OS/2 used Linux's sensible partition/directory naming conventions,
editing config.sys would not have been necessary.
