- I won't be installing v4.1 for a while yet; is this kind of procedural
- information in the system manager's guide for v4.1, or do I have to keep
- this mailgram around (which I'm going to do, anyway, in case the answer is
- no)? This is a fine example of a clear, concise *how to get out of this mess*
- procedure which as a system manager for PMDF I really need to have, and if it
- isn't in the system manager's guide, it really ought to be....Thanks, Dan.
