Just to throw in my $0.02, I would have to disagree with Mr. Reasoner
and agree with Mr. Holland on the best way to upgrade a GNAT Box.

While Mr. Reasoner's way is quick and easy, I agree with Mr. Holland
that it is likely to perpetuate old problems and under-utilize new
features.

The best way to upgrade is to open gbadmin and save your configuration to an
image.  The install the new utilities to that PC and combine your config
with the boot image and save it to a new floppy.

We had similar problems to your number 2, and it was a faulty memory chip in
our situation.  Random reboots in a UNIX based system are almost always
related to some type of faulty hardware.

We are still running GNAT 2.1.  Does anyone know:

1.  The simplest way to upgrade it to the current version?
2.  What would be the possible cause of the box rebooting itself randomly,
sometimes in a few days and sometimes a few hours?

Your comments on question #2 are most demanded in our current situation.
Thanks.

Willis
