The 8.2 early release is planned to go out tomorrow night (Wednesday
night, Thursday morning) for the Sun, Indy, and O2 platforms. If your
machine is configured to update automatically, then you should find
your machine updated on Thursday morning. If your machine is not
configured to update automatically, you will have to take the update
by hand.
Also, if you have a beta machine and have not yet taken the 8.2
update, be aware that when the early release goes out your beta
machine will take the update automatically if it is configured to do
so.
Draft user release notes are available at
http://web.mit.edu/olh/Release/8.2/drafts/early.html
If you need to take the update by hand, here are the instructions:
* Use ^P at the xlogin window to request a console login, and
log in as root.
* Run:
detach -a
* Attach the new system packs, depending on your platform:
Sun: attach -O dev-sun4sys-82
Indy: attach -O dev-sgi62sys-82
O2: attach -O dev-sgi63sys-82
* Run:
/srvd/update_ws
* If the system is an O2, run "reboot" after the update is
complete (there is no reboot during the update since the OS
is not being upgraded). On other systems you will have a
chance to inspect the system before the final reboot, but
there are instructions so it's obvious what you're supposed
to do.
Here are lists of early and beta machines sorted by contact address,
so you can see what machines you should worry about. Questions about
the 8.2 release should go to release-team@mit.edu. Bug reports about
8.2 should go to testers@mit.edu.
