- Go back and do the CSD again, it will go fast because it won't have to update many files, in fact I
- think its only 2, the os2kernal and and something call mp???.dll? When you installed win31 you
- changed the kernal. I have mine running with the CSD kernal and 3.1 and its as good as OS/2 gets.

- Hope this helps.
