Holy, @#$%! And you do buildworlds on this machine!? Sounds like a source upgrade would be even tougher. How long does it take to do one? Can you not do sysinstall on 8 MB anymore? If you can, I'd recommend doing the minimal install of 4.1.1 over FTP. I can't imagine that that would take longer than two or three buildworlds unless you are running over a 1200 baud connection. If sysinstall does not work on 8 MB anymore, do you have another machine that you can use to help? That opens up a lot more options. -- Crist J.
