Procedure to install Mathematica v2.2 for OS/2 in my local copy of the VirtualBox 7.0.12 OS/2 for SMP v2.11 with HPFS386 virtual machine hosted in my four(4) CPU / eight(8) CORE Metztli Reiser4 development environment.

Subsequently this VirtualBox vm will be uploaded to a remote server, with a Metztli Reiser4 for AMD CPUs environment, i.e., reizer4, and I will utilize VBoxManage to increase the cpu count to 16 in the headless environment.

Although the visual media is self explanatory, I included a few Mathematica for OS/2 installation procedure snapshots which may be of relevant historical interest:

Diskette 1 has been inserted a priori and we can see that it is executing initial installation phase:

Mathematica a priori inserted diskette 1 which is running

Mathematica for OS/2 installer prompts for diskette 2:

Mathematica for OS/2 insert diskette 2

Diskette 2 installer executes and proceeds with second phase of installation:

Mathematica for OS/2 diskette 2 running

Mathematica for OS/2 installation routine prompts for diskette 3:

Mathematica for OS/2 insert diskette 3

Diskette 3 routine of the installer picks up where the previous left of:

Mathematica for OS/2 diskette 3 running

Mathematica for OS/2 installer routine prompts for diskette 4:

Mathematica for OS/2 insert diskette 4

Diskette 4 carries installation past the half of the total routine:

Mathematica for OS/2 diskette 4 running

Mathematica for OS/2 installer prompts for the final diskette 5:

Mathematica for OS/2 insert final diskette 5

Diskette 5 installation routine completes the Mathematica for OS/2 installation:

Mathematica for OS/2 prompts us whether we agree with the default -named folder -- or else

Subsequently, a dialog informs us that Mathematica for OS/2 is installed!

Mathematica for OS/2 2.11 on SMP: 'Klein Bottle'

As an addendum to my previous 'Mathematica on OS/2 Symmetrical Multiprocessing (SMP) for v2.11 Guest in VirtualBox 16 CPU/Cores' post in Collection Ixiptli, I remembered I had seen the so-called 'Klein Bottle' in an older manual I had many Metztli  ago.¹

¹ Notwithstanding, at that time, the front window of my car was broken and my backpack was stolen in San Francisco as I had parked, on the street, next to San Francisco State University -- and I had that manual in there.
