Well, firstly I just used the kern/mfsroot floppies and selected 'Upgrade' from sysinstall. After rebooting, I did cd /etc for i in *; do diff -u $i upgrade/$i; done then manually did 'mv upgrade/xxx .' where it looked sensible to do so. I only did a handful though, so it looked like the upgrade process had done most of the work already. Since I used 'mv', then everything left in /etc/upgrade/ is a file which I _didn't_ manually update: # ls /etc/upgrade/ XF86Config dm.conf hosts.lpd networks rmt adduser.conf dumpdates kerberosIV newsyslog.conf shells aliases fbtab localtime pam.conf skeykeys aliases.db fstab login.access passwd spwd.db amd.map ftpusers mail.rc periodic syslog.conf auth.conf gettytab make.conf ppp ttys crontab gnats manpath.config printcap uucp csh.cshrc group master.passwd profile csh.login host.conf modems pwd.db csh.logout hosts motd remote disktab hosts.equiv namedb resolv.conf (in most cases because it was the identical to the file I already had, or in the case of group or master.passwd because the only differences were the changes I had made myself) But it's certainly possible there was some operator error - I am a bit jet-lagged at the moment :-) Regards, Brian.
