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... :) Ben Gavin At 08:47 AM 2/12/99 -0800, you wrote: >There are a few things to watch for, especially since 3.x is now using an >elf kernel. > >Ruslan Ermilov has written an excellent step-by-step for >upgrading 2.2.8 to 3.x.
