I did a fresh install, in order to get my root drive reconfigured using the new slice code. Not counting the up-front time to copy /usr/local, parts of /usr/src (with my hacks), my configs from /etc, and my personal data to my data drive, the install took about 4 hours over a 56Kb connection back to the Internet. That includes 3 hours of downloading files over the link, and about an hour of fiddling to get stable before going to bed. A related observation for anyone making the same upgrade - I made my own kernel config under 2.0R, and tried using it to build a kernel on 2.0.5R. That turned out to be a small mistake, as the kernel would finish fsck and then panic. Creating a similar config from GENERIC works fine, and I'm running on it now. -- Scott Hazen Mueller | scott@zorch.SF-Bay.ORG or tandem!zorch!scott
