[Sorry for replying to your reply to Garance rather than replyign directly; I've lost his original email.] When you say "installing via NFS mounts", are you referring to /usr/obj? The reason that I ask that my /usr/src is remote but my /usr/obj is local. If /usr/src being remote marks me as doing an NFS install for the purposes of these scripts, what are the disadvantages (if any) of use the _oldk script? > >Adventurous people are invited to try this for installs on any > >system, and let me know how it goes I plan up upgrade caliban.rospa.ca in the near future and I'll report back how it goes. -T -- The truth of a proposition has nothing to do with its credibility.
