- Yes. OS/2 will not let you delete the DLLs when it is running.
- Simply copy all of the DLLs to the destination, then delete *.DLL
- in the source directory. The minimum DLL files are left behind
- because they are busy.

- As for getting a faster system, you may or may not be successful. Your HPFS
- partition may be physically farther away from your data than your FAT
- boot partition, so you may not get any real speedup. Your mileage may
- vary...

- I think keeping the smallest part of OS/2 on FAT is a good idea so
- you can boot with a DOS floppy to edit CONFIG.SYS; booting an OS/2
- floppy takes forever!
