The above was not meant to be a step-by-step procedure. It was a brief summary of what you should have found in the handbook. I was questioning if this was the general process you used. Not by coincidence, the above is what I use to upgrade my boxen, again the general procedure is buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel and installworld. Of course, time should always be set aside before your first upgrade attempt. Steve -- Steve Bertrand President/CTO, Northumberland Network Services t: 905.352.2688 w: www.northnetworks.ca
