YMMV. It's not that 3.0-stable is not stable. It's that upgrading and switching to elf at the same time is yielding some difficulties. If you must persist, I recommend grabbing the 3.0-RELEASE install floppy and doing a binary upgrade to 3.0R. Then go to 3.0 stable from there. Beware! You need new boot blocks. You need an ELF kernel. You need to fix some devices which have changed names. I think waiting until 3.1 is a very good idea. Catchya Later, | Give me UNIX or give me a typewriter.
