I did the Bering to uClibc upgrade about 6 months ago. I found the best thing
to do was to just to copy all of the files in /etc (and its subdirectories)
from a running Bering to another machine and keep them for reference or print
them out. Then you should replace everything with a clean version of Bering-
uClibc, install any missing modules or packages, and configure it. With the
saved files from the old Bering you'll find it a breeze to set up the new
system in the same way. (But do it by using the old files as hints, they
can't be used exactly as is.)
This technique had me with a new working system in just under an hour. (Of
course, that made me ambitious and I installed all sorts of things that I
hadn't been running before and its taken some time to sort all of THAT out.)
