No, but I can describe the process. 1) Backup /etc to somewhere safe. 2) Make & boot the 2.1.5 boot floppy. 3) At the menu, select the "upgrade" option. 4) Follow the prompts, mounting and not newfsing your existing partitions. 5) Take note of which /etc files couldn't be converted. 6) At the prompt, copy back services from your backup etc directory, and merge your sysconfig as appropriate. The best way to upgrade sysconfig imho is to print out your old one and just re-fill in the new one with the old info. 7) Reboot, build a new kernel, install, reboot again, be happy. ;) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
