> Could someone say how it spammed its disks, and why the upgrade to > -current instead of sticking at 1.1.5.1? 1. Dicky 1742 controller, it looks like. The thing was ancient and needed to be upgraded. 2. We don't even have any reasonable 1.1.5.1 distributions around here. We took the legal injunction seriously, and I doubt that I'd even be able to scare up a 1.x repair disk if I tried. Nor would I ftp a distribution from somewhere else. Those kinds of hassles we don't need. It's not worth it. Running 1.x on wcarchive all this time was a major thorn in our side and a perennial risk for Walnut Creek, legally bound as they were to not use 1.x. I'm glad it's behind us. Jordan
