Subject:   4.5 floppies, upgrade to 4.6 overwrite?
Message-ID:  <20020617161619.S256-100000@66-75-1-142.san.rr.com>

I have two boot floppies for 4.5 (kern.flp and mfsroot.flp) because I'm too
lazy to dm or dimg whatever that command is to make new images of 4.6

My question is... the last time I upgraded (from 4.3 to 4.5), I hosed my
/var/log/utmp file (wtmp? and must have also replaced or zeroed out some
other log and system files).

This time around, if I boot to the floppies into the sysinstall interface,
what should I have backed up prior to upgrading?
