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?
