My apologies about the faqishness of this question, but my libs are acting up
(e.g. for some bizarre reason tkinfo loads up Tk 3.6 instead of 4.1) and if
I don't upgrade it seems that things will just not run properly.
My / partition is too crowded to put the upgrade directory (Redhat/) in it.
Instead, I can put it into another partition that is mounted on /home. I put
RedHat/ on it (so it is /home/RedHat/) but when I ran the upgrade program,
I got an error message stating that this could not be found.
I did an Alt-F2 and sure enough, /home was listed as a directory. I was able
to cd into it and saw RedHat/ .
On a related note, when I boot off the upgrade floppy, at first, my scsi is
not seen (NCR8510S, aka 53c815), but during the upgrade process, when I tell
the script that I have scsi 53c8xx, it finds things--is this ok, or do I need
to use one of the scsi boot floppies? TIA,
Ariel
