Glad to help. Ben got busy otherwise he would have continued to assist. I was working from home for a bit so "procrastinated". After 20+ yrs with Slackware I still may not know the answers, but I have learned where to go look! When upgrade-all is done, there is a kernel update, so make sure you check /etc/lilo.conf and run lilo (as root) to load up the new one to able to boot.
There was an option to run lilo at the end, and I said yes. It appeared to do something, but didn't take much time. I went ahead and copied some files from the old hard drive, changed the background image on the desktop, and a couple of other things. Then I powered down. I just powered back up and all seems to be working correctly. I need to go out later and will take the laptop with me because it now has some pictures on it that will be needed where I'm going. Later this afternoon I'll be ready to start working on getting wireless working.
If you created an initrd (with mkinitrd) then you will need a new one.
I don't recall doing that myself. But since the machine booted up, I'm assuming I'm good.
Have Fun!
Now that things aren't failing right away, it is starting to be fun. Thanks! -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
