- Stop screaming! Sheesh. For some people, this works fine. When I first
- installed the CSD, I used DSPINSTL and had some problems (I have a clone of
- the Cardinal Technologies 732 card, ET4000 based). I then used Selective
- Install and things were OK. Unfortunately, I crashed the systm by deleting
- OS2BOOT the other day (don't ask why), and had to reinstall. This time I
- used only DSPINSTL and had no problems. It seems that if you already have
- the proper fonts on your system, DSPINSTL works because it only updates the
- drivers. If you have a need to change your fonts, you have to use
- Selective Install. At no times have I ever had mangled notebook tabs
- before or after DSPINSTL/Selective Install.
