Well, it took a nice long time to do it on my T1. I thnk around an hour and
a half to cvsup from 3.4 to 4.0.. So on a 56k modem I would say.... Ouch!

I'm not sure if it's possible to save the old source tree, I guess you
could..

We did an interesting (but risky) thing when we messed up the vinum
partitions. We tar'd up the entire OS on to a tape,
re-partitioned/formatted/installed from the 3.4 CD and then untar'd the 4.0
stuff from the tape, it was such a hack but hey, after being up for 36 hours
you'll try crazy stuff like that... Get this --- it worked!

Good luck!

- Mitch
