I guess the only thing I can salvage from the last day's work is knowing that cvsup is a good resource when used carefully. I was kind of afraid that I would need to start from scratch because there may be hidden gotchas due to libraries that shouldn't be there, etc. I guess since the system did come up working, I could experiment with the shell script I am building to update 6.2 and then save it to another system before starting over on Monday. Also, thanks for the correction on the cvs-supfile. We have 3 boxes scheduled to go in service that are all the same type of server which means that they will all be getting the CDROM initial install and then hopefully the security patches and bug fixes via cvsup.
