This environment variable is only useful in your install diskettes CONFIG.SYS file. If you find it in your normal CONFIG.SYS file, then you can delete it. If it is set up, OS/2 copies all standard drivers from the diskettes to your hard disk during the install process. If it is not set up, OS/2 will copy all drivers from the CD-ROM. If your hardware needs newer drivers than that on the install CD-ROM, you can copy the new drivers to the install diskettes. And set in the CONFIG.SYS on the install diskettes the COPYFROMFLOPPY variable to "ON".

SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=Value
Parameters
