Hi all,
I did notice, while running through this upgrade process today that I had
to add another step into the tutorial. The problem was that it could not
find ldconfig, which basically left me with a completely unusable system.
I corrected by recopying the files back, then running after step 4:
set PATH = (/{bin,sbin} /usr/{bin,sbin} /usr/local/{bin,sbin} /usr/X11R6/bin)
Then continuing with step 5 and all went well, at least so far... :)
