I recently wrote up the procedure for a friend, and wound up putting it on the web--a few caveats--PAY ATTENTION when I say something isn't a good idea but I do it anyway. I wrote it for a friend having trouble, and it's for a box on a home network, where, if everything broke, it's not a big deal.=20 It also really deals with a standard upgrade as opposed to a version upgrade. For example, I'm running 4.7 prerelease on this box, and my page deals mostly with just getting the latest sources and upgrading to the newer version of 4.7. Anyway, it might be of some help--again, don't do the things that I say are a bad idea. :) I have to edit it sooner or later, but just put it up recently, again, as I said, for a friend http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/cvsup.html HTH a little --=20 Scott PGP KeyID EB3467D6 (1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 D575 EB34 67D6) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Giles: This one?
