I was considering upgrading from 2.1.0-Release to 2.1.5-Release via
the ctm deltas for 2.1.0-Stable, but have a few questions about this.
1. Would doing a make world clobber my /etc directory?
2. I would like to do this in a running system, I really do not want to
take the system down to single user mode to do this, does this pose a
problem?
3. If I were to upgrade in this fashion, what would "uname" report the
kernal as being after I recompile it? "2.1.0-Stable" or "2.1.5-Release"
4. Any other concerns anyone can thing about doing it this way? Would it
just be better to boot off the floppie and do an "upgrade" install?
Thanks,
Jim
