Not quite fair because the first interactive question came up over night, so I don't know how long it waited for me to hit enter. Amd386DX-40 with (overclocked) Intel 387DX-33, 8M bytes main memory, 128K cache, Adaptec 1542B, /, /usr, /var on a Micropolis 1588, /usr/src and /usr/obj on a Seagate Hawk2. This was an upgrade from a fresh install of 2.2.5-Release. I had to install the old version because because the machine has a real Novell NE2000 that can't be configured to I/O address 0x280, and the newer boot floppies don't have room for ed1. The only hitches came because I originally installed DES encryption. After I said 'cvs release -d crypto' it ran flawlessly until I couldn't log in after it rebooted. :-) Great job, guys. The ELF upgrade was painless! Now I feel completely confident elf-izing my more serious machines.
