- I remember reading in the FAQ, that you have to get a CSD specific for your
- national version of OS/2. Does this also apply to this Service Pack, and if
- so will service packs for all national versions be made available on ftp
- or just the US version?
- If I have to get this Service Pack from one of IBM-Denmark"s authorized
- dealers, I expect to pay hundreds of $$ "media charge", so please don"t
- tell me that all us non-US customers will have to get our language specific
- update :-(
