I did the same thing. Ended up with about 100 broken packages. I was able to fix it without reinstalling from scratch. I could describe what I did if anybody is interested. It involved having a spare partition where I installed the 1.3.1 base system, plus the ability to boot DOS to download the 1.3.1 install disk set which I didn't have on my machine. ...RickM... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
