Hi Doug, Thanks for getting back to me. I actually got around that problem in the end.
However upon completing the upgrade, I noticed a couple of things: 1] startx has stopped working (just XFree86-4.0.2 from the 4.4 CD Set, no gnome of kde installed as yet) typing "startx" for any user just sits there doing nothing (after 5 mins or so I killed it with cttrl c) 2] All user account except that for root disappeared. 3] During bootup apache failed with "unable to find my FQDN". After login (as root) "ps waux | grep httpd" returns nothing. 4] The box does not ask me to enter a password when logging in as root on the console I'm not sure if this is the right way to get the above queries addressed, but let me know if I should post another to the list. Thanks again for taking the time to respond.
