- To upgrade, you are going to need to dump everything to floppy and then
- reinstall.
-
- The most current version for the efsprogs is 10.1. This is available on
- tsx-11.mit.edu in the pub/linux/ALPHA/extfs directory.
-
- You shouldn't have to upgrade any other programs unless you have very old
- versions mount, make, or bash.
