Put the distribution files in an accessible place and follow the instructions below. 1) BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC. IT __WILL__ BE HOSED!!! 2) Boot the new floppy. Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts. Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same distributions you did originally and any you wish to add. 3) Hit 'commit'. Take note of the modified files. 4) WHen you're dumped to a shell prompt: . Copy services back from your backup /etc. It's three lines long now :( . Edit sysconfig and re-config from scratch using your old one as a guide. It's changed a bunch this time around and it's too much pain to hack in the new changes. . Migrate any changes you made to rc.local. Note that httpd is no longer started from sysconfig. 5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.
