-- Chander Ganesan C_at_asu.edu -------------- View 2: You can do it but make sure there's enough file space in root partition. Lots of people have upgraded. I think the biggest thing to watch for is the space that the new root file system wants to use. This is probably mentioned in the release notes. alan_at_nabeth.cxo.dec.com -------------------------- View 3: 4.0 is buggy...go to 4.0b as long as you're upgrading Hi, I did DU 3.2d-1 to DU 4.0 last summer. Not exactly the same but close. The upgrade was similar to other unix upgrades, I have done in the past. It is a major upgrade and tedious. I also did DU 4.0 to DU 4.0A last October. I plan to do DU 4.0A to DU 4.0B this week. DU 4.0 has alot of bugs/issue, many were fixed with DU 4.0A. There have been more issues corrected in DU 4.0B. If you are going to do the upgrade I suggest you do not stop at DU 4.0. DU 3.2C to DU4.0 to DU4.0B Unfortunately, you cannot go directly from 3.2C to 4.0B <SIGH> I guess the main reason I am writing is that 4.0 is buggy. Other problems: 1 - older versions of NCSA Telnet client for DOS didn't work; users were immediately logged out. After upgrading their software, they're in good shape. 2 - csh users who had extraneous exclamation points (interpretable as bad history syntax) or references to non-existent user home directories in aliases) in their .cshrc or .login files were immediately logged out ----------------------------------------------- So the bottom line is.. some people have told me 3.2c to 4.0 can't be done, others have told me it can. There's one or two who said that they've done it. Unless someone else tells me for sure it can't be done, I'm going to try it on one of my machines.
