Normally, kernels are updated along while installing the fixpaks. I'd advice you to install the latest fixpaks available today (unfortunately, requires SWC, but there are enough people who will be so nice to offer you those fixpaks). I believe the latest FP was FP42, but it certainly is somewhere around 40. I also advice you to install Base Device Driver FP 3 and the latest MPTS, and printer updates. The two latters are to be found for free at the regular OS/2 FP download sites, the others via links on www.software.ibm.com/os/warp/swchoice

Good luck!

Fixpacks can be installed in ascending order: #32, then #35, then #38, then #40 ... or you can skip #s 32, 35, 38 et cetera and just install #42.

I think that the most recent fixpack for v3 is #43.
