It asked me to save the /etc. Accepted the default /usr/tmp/etc. As source for the upgrade I used a FTP server and specified the url myself. Here I mistyped the url a little bit and needed to try a different FTP server. This time it accepted it. Then it comes to step 2, it brings up the error message: Unable to go to your saved /etc directory in Uereo3r34j34! Argh! .... It looks much garbage as I can type it here ;-) >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
