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.
