Sort of. I think removing my own liver with a butter knife would have
probably made for a more enjoyable week-end. :-)
boot4.flp was the only one that would allow me to dial an ISP. First I
tried to use the 'upgrade' option. After establishing my PPP connection I
got the screen telling me I had to partition my drives, followed
immediately by a screen telling me that the partition editor failed. :-{
Three tries, same results.
Next I tried a 'custom' install (with N in the newfs column <g>) as I half
expected that gave me a bunch of,
/stand/cpio: cannot remove current xxxxxx Operation not permitted
on vty2. I just hoped that that the things that didn't update would run
well enough with the new kernel to be able to do a make world.
"Custom" seems a bit of a misnomer, IMO, since you can't specify exactly
which components to install.
>From about 26 or 27% into 'Extracting bin into / ....' on, vty2 was
inundated with "uid 0 on /: file system full" messages, but all went well
until about half way thru the transfer of the source tree when I lost
carrier with the ISP I was using. Argggggg..... I waited a few moments
and the install didn't seem to notice that there was nothing at the other
end, I re-established the connection and waited but nothing happened. I
hit Ctrl-C, answered yes to the abort question and the system rebooted to
my RELEASE kernel. The new GENERIC was in / but not installed.
I ftp'd the balance of the source only to find that
.../dist/src/install.sh has a bit of a problem. Each line ends with a ^M.
Seems my system couldn't find /bin/sh^M :-} After editing the script it
worked fine and I was able to compile, install, and run a new kernel.
Make world crashed and burned with undefined symbol _iso_ntoa in debug.o
and list.o while compiling /usr/src/usr.bin/dig. Since that binary was
installed I commented that directory out of the Makefile and have started
another make world. Another 6 or 7 hours and we'll see if it works. I'll
let you know.
I also noticed a LOT of errors making .../share/doc/*
