I was getting ready to upgrade to 4.0 right now, so I downloaded the updated
rpm's. As as been described here by Erik, one replaces the rpm's in the
original 4.0 distribution with those in the update directory, run genhdlist
on it, and then proceed by booting the boot.img floppy.
But which floppy??
The original one (dated 10.5/96) is obviously out. Basically, the problem is
whether to take the one in Erik's directory (/ewt) or the one in the /scsi
subdirectory (I have scsi ncr53c8xx), or the one in the /updates... I better
rephrase this.
There seem to be four choices:
1. /updates/images/i386/scsi (for those of us that have scsi stuff)
2. /ewt (this one seems like the latest--hence the bestest)
3. /updates/images/i386 (this one seems like the latest stable one)
4. original boot.img as one would find it in the cdrom
TIA,
Ariel
