I got the update this morning. All worked well. In fact, it was the
smootest update yet! I only had one problem which was not new. That
is the update erases the /etc/cap.printers file that CAP uses. It really
would be nice to get the update process to leave that file alone like
it does passwd.local and rc.local.
Good work!
