- Yesterday, I upgraded our '040 Turbo from 2.2 to 3.0 using a Mac
- CD-ROM and the "automatic" upgrade method.
-
- Things appeared to work as they should until the very end. Then
- the install said it was running a "postprocessing script" and went off
- into hyperspace for a couple of hours.
-
- I had a spinning cursor at this point, so I wasn't able to click
- on the "stop" button. When it became clear that this script was going
- run until the end of time (or until NeXT delivers my back-ordered
- CD-ROM drive -- whichever comes first), I tried killing the process
- and finally just rebooted the system.
-
- It came up in 3.0 without any obvious ill effects. But I am
- concerned that the "postprocessing script" was working on something
- when I aborted and that there may be things I should take care of.
- I'd be prepared to run the whole thing again, but the upgrade app
- tells me that it should only be run on 2.x disks.
-
- Should I be concerned about this? Is there a way to rerun the
- upgrade?

- Michael
