Sorry, this box will be a bastion host, so there will be no compiler
tools installed.
I just tried the following:
1. I installed a tar archive of /stand from another 4.8 box at /usr
and linked to / (sysinstall seems to unpack in /stand which exceeds
the size of my root fs).
2. I shut down to single user mode and started the 4.8 sysinstall
(vinum subsystem still running)
3. I did a standard upgrade from CD and rebooted
So far everything seems fine, but can anybody confirm that this is
a supported procedure?
