That's the nice thing about running OS/2, I never get updates, and never reboot! LOL (streak is 85 days right now, I had power outage)s

If you get an update OTA, be very very afraid.

Then again, how could they send a box of 18 floppy disks over the
internet?

Very, very carefully.

IBM never heard of UPDATE.EXE...

I remember running Warp 3 for many years without any updates... didn't even hear about Fixpack 32 or whatever it was until wayyyyy later.

Exactly! (ARCA does update stuff, but I haven't updated in a long time
and I am not on the latest release anyway, so no big deal)

I ran OS/2 1.2, 1.3, 2.0 and Warp 3 in corporate environments. Fixpacks
were usually needed to fix networking and peripheral issues. I seem to
recall one 2.0 fixpack that you needed to install to get IBM's version
of LAN Manager working.

I have more issues with ArcaOS' Python-based update program and dependency
hell and hated it.

I did use that a few times, but didn't really see a need, it was
usually updating stuff I don't need.
