I upgraded from 2.1 RH & CND to RH 3.0.3 a looong time ago w/
a script that used to be on the RH site called upgrade, worked very
well.
I have since upgraded to RH 4.0 & CND. This required an install of RH.
I did it from cdrom, afterwards, I ran calderize, viola.
I now have very good working:
Caldera Network Desktop - release 1.0
Red Hat Linux - release 4.0 (Colgate)
Kernel 2.0.26 on a i586
Login and run 'startx' to start the Desktop.
I love it !
I'm told the 'upgrade' to COL, Caldera OpenLinux, will require yet
another install, no upgrade available.
