Please give me > some kind of direction. I can't help. When I went from 2.2.8 to 3.1, I did an upgrade from the CDROM and a floppy boot. I cvsup'ed to current and had many problems. I needed more space and so I replaced the main drive with a 13GB on and did a clean install of 3.1. Then, I cvsup'ed to 3.1-stable and have been following stable since then. Make certain that you have Mergemaster installed before you upgrade. The /etc files have been rearranged, device names have changed, any you have to worry about compat22 and aout files. You need to read the tutorial on upgrading. Ruslan also has a file on upgrading. Hir URL will be in the articles in the questions archive.
