During my first (finally successfull) upgrade of my 2.2.6 system to 3.2 stable I encountered, due to my ignorance, problems arising from the lacking of the MACHINE_ARCH variable in my environment. I didn't know it should be set before firing make aout-to-elf-build, although I realize (of course) it should be set to i386 'cause I'm a PC user. But I wonder someone else could have the same problem on his/her fist upgrade, so I strongly beg and encourage all those worlderfull guy like Nick Clayton and An Douglas Barton to include this sort of thing in their respective upgrading tutorials, I mean, state the critical variables which have to be set previous to a make upgrade or the like. I must say the mergemaster script was (and will be) indeed very helpfull in this very stressing process of upgranding. Besides, I wonder if I could upgrade my production systems, currently running 2.2.5, mounting the build I've just made (and installed) via NFS. Comments will be very appreciated. ______________________________ Mr. Eliezer Rodriguez Gonzalez Net Manager & Sys Admin CEISIC.
