- Don't try to install the service pack with a monochrome card installed
- as second video adapter. I did this. The service installed all 12 base
- update disks and when it came to the video driver update, it noticed
- there is no update for monochrome in the pack. Well, it could have
- removed the monochrome, but no, it didn't even install the primary
- driver (8514) - it did no longer install anything but terminated.
- Leaving me alone with an unbootable system (new GRE, old drivers).
-
- I had to restore the backup, remove the 2nd video setup (hrmmpf - why
- does the selective install require a dozen disks just to remove a
- driver from CONFIG.SYS?) and rerun the service pack update.

- Gruss, Andreas
