Description
bootstrapping yum adds x:\usr\bin etc. to the beginning of PATH.
This can cause problems. For example: When mptn\bin\setup.cmd contains
hostid 127.0.0.1
the wrong hostid get's called.
I think it's better to add PATH and LIBPATH entries at the end and not at the beginning.

Replying to ydario:
Why do you have hostid in setup.cmd? never seen one placed by os2 installer.
You are right, os2 installer does not set it. But the entry once was the
workaround/solution for being able to start HobLinkX11 and gimp.
( for details see also this thread (german) http://de.narkive.com/2005/1/15/598099-hoblinkx11-gimp.html )
Probably it makes more sense to modify coreutils hostid to accept IP as parameter.
