However, a small number of snags to avoid: 1) Save interesting things out of /etc (eg. your password file, rc.local) as these will get overwritten. 2) If you don't run the Generic kernel, plan on building a new one around the time of installing the bindist (ie. download the sys.?? out of the srcdist at the same time). Quite a lot of the networking commands (route, pppd etc.) seem to be incompatible between 2.0-RELEASE and the -SNAP releases. Just to make things more interesting, the makefile in the -SNAP srcdist seems to require a newer version of 'symorder' than is in 2.0-RELEASE. 3) Not quite clear how it happened, but I ended up with two sets of manpages - /usr/share/man/man1/xxxx.1 and /usr/share/man/man1/xxxx.1.gz andrew.gordon@net-tel.co.uk
