The system is remote and the installs won't be done until the person I am helping gets off of work tonight. I just wanted to know what to look for. The system started out as a clean standard build by a newbie and all that has been added to it is cvsup, doc-proj, and a game chat program. I am expecting to see messages from sendmail because of the aliases changes for the current version. Will be interested to see what mergemaster does there now. This system doesn't have any aliases to worry about and if nothing else, we just run newaliases manually. I'm also going to try the installworld without going to single user mode. If we can do that, I can do the mergemaster and get them past the huge number of cron changes. Telling someone with a reading problem what to do over a talk window on a different computer can be a real problem when you have so many shell scripts changing. I figure I stand a pretty good chance this will work on 4.x-stable. I have 3 systems that I don't have to run in single user mode to do the installworld. The reason for waiting is that it may not work and then you have someone that can try it in single-user mode.
